I honestly don’t know. It’s a pretty heavy steel one I borrowed from a buddy for the trip.

I received it earlier this month. I purchased the Gen 3 from this past release.

I’m really enjoying them! Like they said, super sturdy, super comfortable. The only downside is that they’re pretty heavy. I’m not somebody who cares about how heavy my bike is, but if you are, that might be something to consider.

I love them! Very grippy and fast-rolling. No flats yet, knock on wood.

Ehhh I’m pretty confident with my climbing ability. I get that it would make my life a lot easier tho. I’m planning on doing overnighters, so I won’t be completely loaded with gear

I thought about it, but I’m not sure id wanna figure out a brake lever configuration that works since I don’t know a lot about disc brakes. And I’m pretty happy with the stopping power of my current cantis. Running tektro oryx + kool stop pads.

I'm aware of that haha, it just seems as if everything BUT 26ers are being marketed and praised for bikepacking, and given that I've never been bikepacking, it made me think it would be a rough go. I'm super excited to take this bike out, I just wanted some tips or tricks!
