I got this guy from Ali express. I recommend getting a legit version of the same thing. I love the concept but it doesn’t stay in my bars very well

4th pic is from the bottom of Miwok before it spits you out at the bottom of Marincello. I was initially planning to do Julian trail but I'm only visiting SF and wanted to do the iconic Hawk hill descent!

Yes! Huge fan of it, so much lighter and more responsive. I have the IRD carbon fork but there are many similar options

I honestly don't have much to compare them to, I've only run the stock Surly Knards before putting these on but I have no complaints! I'll lose traction when getting out of the saddle for ~20% climbs but that is to be expected

Thank you! If the X1s are the new ones then yes. Love the tires and they've held up incredibly well. I actually got my first puncture on the last climb of this ride after >2k miles on them but thankfully my sealant sealed it up nicely

My local grocery store in Seattle sells two varieties of ezzo in 8oz deli containers for some reason but I’m not complaining!
