Hey Patrick! I was actually just in ABQ over thanksgiving. Riding on 2.6” tires now but the i36 rim helps them spread out. Having to use the i25 cliffhanger is one of the things that has me hesitating, I’m a fan of wide rims. I’m back and forth. Should probably wait for the next Clem run. The Gus just has so much style!
