Hahah. Maybe. I prefer to pedal corners without pedal strike and minimize booping my big ring on small logs. 7cm x 584/50 crew for life. But yeah. No wrong answer. And I thought the collective tarck suspicions regarding high bb and 650b was cya by bike companies.

Sold quite a few of those many years ago. Was a decent tire well ahead of it’s time.

Cool. I will try some. I can get 3 of them for the price of one protection Race King, which will only fit on my front anyway. Someone is specialling them at half price.
I was never able to get mine to set up tubeless, but I’m not sure that they were ever meant to be without tubes
Tube only I think. I do distinctly remember one blowing of a Stan’s Crest rim in the original tiny CBC location. It was loud and messy.
My RM had a chain guide like that. It was kinda annoying, tbh.
Norco did something similar with their carbon grave bikes too. Also a little annoying.
I can live with that. When the apocalypse comes stans will be harder to get than bullets, benzine, sram dangler batteries and water.
New Zealand must have a strategic national reserve of mold builder latex for whenever Peter Jackson is called to film his next raunchy massive puppet musical

CGI has dealt to the latex economy the same way that batteries are causing all the cable factories to close down.
