Is that 42 Below bike one of those Iros they used in their goldsprint promos around the county?

Have the same tires on my mini-velo. It is my beater bike, they are one of the very few tires that come in the right size and were the cheapest, so I had little choice despite my initial reservations against them. But I have to say that I am extremely impressed at how tough they are. I ride this bike everywhere, often on terrible roads and thru neighborhoods where residents seem to view bike lanes as garbage cans. I have plucked pretty sizable pieces of glass and metal out of them and (hope this doesn't curse me) not a single flat.

I've been a tire snob my whole life - always went for nothing but light, fast, racy tires on my road bikes but now that it is getting close to new tire time for my good fg bike, I am seriously considering a set of Kenda Kwests for it.
