I’ve had ‘em on my Hunqapillar for about half a year. I commute, do fire roads, single track with rocks, short dirt road tours. Tread wear is as to be expected from such a light tire. Paselas they are not, for durability on the tread. They also don’t grip nearly as well as Paselas, as I found when corning in the rain, and my whole bike flew out from under me, as did the guy’s bike right behind me, riding the same tire.
Pluses: great ride quality, I run em around 30 psi. Low weight. Look great. Downsides: super thin. They flat on any little sharp object. Not gunna last more than 2000 miles, for me at least. Maybe 1500, really. Expensive. Tubeless: I didn’t want to run mine tubeless, but I set them up that way after repeatedly flatting on them. 2-3 flats for a weekend tour. Can’t handle that. I used orange seal enduro sealant and tape, and Stan’s valves. No flats since, and that was 5 months ago. Recommendation: get em if light weigh, supple, basically bald tires sound like they might fit your riding style, and you are willing to convert to tubeless. As a rule, when setting them up on customers bikes, I urge tubeless conversions, and most of the 12 pair or so I’ve sold go out the door tubeless. -james co-owner of Gravel & Grind On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 7:16:59 PM UTC-4, Patch T wrote: > > They've been out for just over a year now, yeah?
