Man those tires suck. I do want the dirt one for the front. The others are really bad, get ready for puncture galore

Did you really need to lose more weight on your bike? It was already pretty light. I don't think it's worth $40 each unless they completely stop tubes from popping.

Just an update on my Blend LTD. Since getting it on July 4th...
Cut the bars.
Changed to a RHD
Changed to DK Iron Cross grips
Changed to a Haro fork (want 990 mount)
Added Suelo front brake
Changed to a Odyssey Hazard Lite 48 front wheel
Changed to a Odyssey Hazard Lite 48 rim with a KHE Reverse hub for the rear wheel
That's about it for now...

Well I finally got everything on. Then after about 10 minutes of riding I heard a loud "ping". I later found that I tweaked two teeth on my Snafu chainwheel from not having my back wheel on lockdown. I have a Hoffman chainwheel on order but it won't be here until Monday.
Pics have to wait until then.

KHE tyres rock. No punctures, and i wont get many because i run really hard tyres. Even if i did i would spend 10mins max fixing it, its not that hard. They are light, show me the flaws.
Yes i do need to lose a little bit more weight on my bike.
That LAF looks tight.

You just wait. In a couple of months you will have non stop punctures. I ran 100 PSI in mine and still had soo many flats. Not worth the weight loss
