I would think twice.

Their tires have excellent rolling characteristics but seem to have a high rate of tires unusable out of the box. I had one delivered with a broken bead as did another user here on BF. A third had cracks in the tire as if it had been exposed to UV. It's too bad because they are really nice to ride.

Hope their tubes are better though and I'm open to hearing anyone's experience.
