That whole sequence of events was incredibly frustrating. I've never had to walk out of the woods beforeWe had a decent size group last night, no one snapped a pic? @The Heckler taking 30 minutes to fix a flat(and still walking out) would have been a good photo op but Dave Taylor distracted me by talking to me.
Ardent or ardent race with Exo ...bombproofI'm going Bontrager xr3 2.3 front and rear for TSE. @rsinger814 was about right with my flat count on this bike, however it's possible they may all be attributed to my pump gage.
Things felt excessively squishy in the back those 5 minutes before I flatted. Considering that I pinched the tread and sidewall next to the bead on a nothing rock I'd say 21 psi wasn't actually 21 psi.
SO I picked up a digital SKS gage and Stans race sealant which worked well last year and already have a 2.3 mounted on the rear. This MTB flat tire this is getting ridiculous, time to pull out all the stops! Yesterday was supposed to be a solid rock shakedown so TSE doesn't completely murder me. WRONG.
Thanks everyone for the tubes, boots, spare hands and moral support! Many technical karma points to you all.

I technically walked and rode during the allamuchy enduranc, but got back on it

@The Heckler just needs to lose weightArdent or ardent race with Exo ...bombproof
I run 19-21 at cr on carbon wheels with ardent race 2.2s.I never ran my pressure that low at rocky places, I always bumped it up to 23-24. 21 feels cushy AF but walking out sucks.

I remember I ran these tires at CR for a really long time until I killed a sidewall, I'm going to say heavy plus bulldozer style = deathI was going to suggest better line choises myself.
Dafuq! I hammered my ardent races all last season and they were the non exo version.Nope. Ardent Race is what let me down at Wawayanda. I have one good one for sale if you want.
I'm trying wtb rangers next.Dafuq! I hammered my ardent races all last season and they were the non exo version.
