I was seriously considering buying some because I ride alot of pavement to hardpack, but I will wait.
Hardpack, pavement, go Holyrollers. Mucho better with practically no rolling resistance. It is a freeride bike, I agree, but I wouldnt build up a 12" travel freeride bike and put hookworms on it, nor would I build up a 12" freeride bike at all...
