i've got a set of dugast fastbirds currently glued to mine. they adapt to terrain so well without relying on the stiffer sidewall of tubeless. when i ran tubulars on a cross bike at low pressure i go the idea to try it for MTB. truly a staggering difference in ride quality.

i ride them on local trails and i have raced them, but they're definitely pick-and-choose--definitely not for every course. if i lived in an area with shale i wouldn't even own them.

my HT came in at 8kg almost dead even…with power meter. (running 2x10 on my MTBs due to local terrain and current lack of availability for a 1x power meter with appropriate chain line.) i didn't take any ridiculous risks on light parts at the sake of longevity, either. actually, it might weigh just a bit more as i ended my eggbeater experiment and went back to time. the vague feeling when clipped in got old for me; i'm just used to something different.

rode it in MTB nationals, albeit with clinchers. (not the course where it was wise to risk it. a shredded tubular would mean a long, long, long walk.)

nice ride!
