So I have about 5 singletrack trips on these tires now.. I am running them as 13 psi rear and 12 psi front and I have nothign but good things to say, they feel great, have so much air in them that it feels like im riding a FS bike.. also, I upgraded the rotors to Shimano RT66 SLX and am...

so I own a Rover, it has basically become my go-to bike for singletrack use. I installed Schwalbe Jumbo Jim 4.8" tires and swapped the brake rotors to Shimano SM-RT66 SLX 180mm they made an awesome difference in braking. my next upgrade I didn't even start looking at yet will be the front...

What's big o?

I have Rad's full fenders on my Rover. They work really well at blocking water from spraying up at the bike or on me. I would give them an 8/10 for 2 reasons. Take away 1 point for cost. And a second point because when my front tire hits small ruts in the road at speed the fender shakes...

that guy is a character.... just listening to him he obviously does not know how brakes work, his description for the adjustments are incorrect, and he obviously didn't bleed his brakes properly. I wonder if he ever bled the brakes in a car.... same principal (air is the enemy as it can...
