Flip the front wheel around if you don't like burning up $60usd tires quickly. Other than that it's looking good. Welcome back.

There is a valid reason for the tyre that way round, i bought the wheels brand new from a guy who didnt use them, but the monkey forgot to put the front tyre on the right way round, so i pushed it up to work to get the tyres pumped up and switch the tyres around.

But me being the even bigger monkey forgot to change the tyre around so i have to wait until i go back to work before i can change it as i dont have a presta pump.

Not those high rollers you can get the singleply freeride/4x tires for cheap, but those are super tacky or slow reezay 26x2.5 high rollers with the 2 ply casing.. The ones he has on are the DH version of the high roller.

Nice ride and it's good to see you back.

I tore up my Slow Reezay Minions in one day on partial slickrock trails. If it's a concrete skatepark, they'll show it at the end of the day.
