I have the same fork on my hardtale I recently purchased.
It's amazing .
Don't get me wrong so is the MRP.
What have you done to your bike today?

Installed the new Magicshine light.
This is a fun one. Both tires are mounted on 28mm internal width rims inflated to 30 PSI

What's. 030 between friends?
.100 small is unacceptable. You might as well use fractions and a tape measure 😆

Shouldn't all those nipples be pixelated according to current domestic sensitivity?!?!

I think we’re supposed to do the opposite now? I can’t keep up with what’s right anymore so I just do whatever I want 😂

I fully support the #freethenipple movement
Swapped out sketchy fraying sidewall Maxxis Aggressor (why do they all do this?) for a DHR2 on the rear of my Pivot in preparation for my Lake Placid trip. The DHR2 was stolen from my Ragley so I put a Bontrager SE2 on there as an experiment with micro knobbies. Also did my annual Stan's top off in the 2 unchanged tires, checked brake pads and lubed chain. Good to go!

Have you been to the nude beach at Sandy Hook recently, that might change your mind...

You may have tossed the tire, but I'm not sure what a frayed sidewall looks like, only seen them on old tires.
This year, two almost new DHR2s on different bikes (29 and 27.5+) have torn right above the bead for me. Currently using tubes on both till I decided whether to give up on Maxxis tires. Maxxis was everyone's go to tire but seems the competition has caught up.
I've been testing out Bonty SE5s up front on a few bikes and like the grip but there's a good weight penalty. Thinking XR5 up front and either SE4 or 3s in the back. SE2s are similar to the Pan FatBnimbles I've been running on a hardtail. Fast, but zero grip especially this time of year with wet leaves. Though interested what you think with a burlier front tire.
This has been a trend of maxxis tires that I thought would've been addressed by now but seems it has not. I've been very happy with the schawbles the past couple years now.
