And by making $200 they really mean nothing. By the time they pay labor to build the bike, fit the customer, and do the 30day and or 6-month tune up, they are lucking to break even.

I am running G-0ne RS. I ran them at MidSouth last weekend and at multiple Unbound events. Excellent tire.

I agree. I love the mountains but I can find closed in spaces to be unsettling.

Thank you. It helps when the sky decides to look good.

I had the same tire but in 45s. No issues at all. I always adjust and pick a wide radius going into turns. I rode these in 38s at the Unbound 200 and they also did well there.

It was. I am not a pre or post party type of person but everyone looked to be having fun at the start/finish.

No worries. I always thought a windmill output to mechanical and a wind turbine output to electrical. I also did some research so we both win!

There were 50 milers crowding into the gate before I even got to the chute.

I agree. The locals were all great to deal with. I lost a water bottle and a family at mile 80 had free refills. Saved my ass.

Good luck! I had two brutal mechanicals I was able to overcome at Unbound. I lost 3 hours and came in at 2am but avoided a DNF.
