What’s your thoughts after riding it??

If you ride the same pressure that you always ride (for me that means 24 psi on the rear) the tire feels a little too soft in the middle but firm on the sides. my very first ride was at Port Jervis in a heavy rain. I truly experienced the very best traction I’ve ever seen on a bicycle. Astounding grip


I believe the idea here is that you can now run 5 to 10 pounds more psi in your tires and still get really good grip. Negate the need for a tire liner perhaps.

More to come on these, but I really like them

I went back to order a lot more of them after I tested them and unfortunately, they sold out their six months supply in a week
 
Rear brakes. I had some work done at a LBS last week and they also replaced the rear brake pads.
I didn't tell them to, they just noticed it and did it. I'm glad they did.
BUT, my first ride and the rear brakes were making a loud groaning sound, really loud, not a squeal.
I pulled the pads out and they looked chewed up. I sanded them a little and chamfered the edge
and put them back in. Just rode it today and they're fine, no noise. What do you think went wrong?

What does the casing construction feel like? This is the first I’m hearing of them and naturally wonder how they perform at your normal-tire lower psi?

I'm no expert but looks like someone used a screwdriver to spread the pads/pistons apart after changing them and damaged your brand new pads in the process. I'd send that photo to your LBS.

So... do you have a pair put aside for me like I asked when they were announced? 😉
