Thanks for the pool review. I'll keep it in mind.

Question about tires: I am going to hit 1000 miles on my Giant Bowery this week, and I was planning on rotating them. I typically rotate tires to even wear. These tires, Kenda Kontender, are noticeably worn after 1000 miles... I can feel a little "lip" or flatspot on the rear tire. It's not excessive, for sure, but a roadie friend of mine told me rotating is a no-no once you have a flatspot.

The front is hardly worn (as you would expect), and I do like these tires... So I'd like 'em to last. But I don't like them enough to buy another set

Do you guys rotate? Any thoughts?
