Truely. In my 8 or so years of riding this was the first time I had to walk out and overall it was still a pretty good ride.eatsleepbikes said:gotta love those rides that turn into a short ride with a long walk/jog back to the car.
I also ripped both of my Rampages, good tires but thin sidewall. Try the Ardent 2.4's, even better traction and has sidewall protection, been running mine tubeless since summer and no issues, around 820g's so even lighter than Rampage w/tube.Curtezyflush said:I'm also torn (horrible pun) on what the best tire solution is for those rocks. This is my second Panaracer tear running tubeless so running tubed may help that a bit giving the sidewalls/tread a little more stiffness. But I've also had tons of thorn/goat head holes that Stan's has sealed right up. Maybe running some Stans inside a tube is the solution for that trail.
My Kujos have held up fine on multiple Pueblo runs (as well they should considering their weightJaydude said:Some of that shale is like razor. I dont know if there is a tire that could be considerd Pueblo Proof!
Thanks for the recommendation on the Ardent - I've torn sidewalls on every non-UST tire I've ever run tubeless in Pueblo! And yes - the stairs on Water Tower are spaced precisely one wheelbase apart! buh-BUMP, buh-BUMP, buh-Bump......ad nauseum....pastajet said:The new 29er Ardent 2.4's with the sidewalls protection rule down there. I have been using mine for at least 15-20 times down there, and all I ride is the nasty shite. On rare occasions the tread pattern isn't quite deep enough, but those sidewalls are the bomb!
I can't imagine going up some of those steep canyons (Freeride, Rattlesnake, etc) on a single speed, stout!
I was down there today, and they had gotten a micro dusting, so everything was fine, except the lower wood ramp below the rock roller on Freeride was slick! Went down Water Tower trail for the first time, very rad (a bit dirty), and those stairs at the end were a pain!
