On trails like the luge and rock-it, i tend to go at a faster pace and even with 35 psi in the tubes, i still managed to pinch/blow up tubes. Yesterday was no exception, i was going full speed, no brakes through the rock garden and i was waiting for the tube to pinch/blow on my first run down. Kenda's have always been a problematic tire for me in regards to pinching. Traction wise, its pretty good but in the loose over hard conditions we are currently having, it has been breaking loose a lot in the turns. I'm going to be trying out a Maxxis Larsen TT and i will most likely be purchasing a Schwalbe Nobby Nic tubeless when i rebuild my wheelset

Glad you are ok Nam, that would be a scary place to go down.
Welcome to the UST posse!
If you need to try a Larsen TT or Nobby, I have both ready for you to try.
I am running the UST SB8 currently, no worries yet as long as it is UST to UST, no mas Stans crap for me!...remember that self-induced tire removal at Dville?
Anyone want to buy some Stans ZTR Olympic 26" wheelset? Seriously!

healing vibes Nam.I had a blast for the short time I got to ride. I started to go up cholla and my chain went into my wheel I tryed to fix it, but said screw it and took off. still need to get the strength back in my shoulder the first time I lifted up to launch off a rock it shot some pain so going down the rock section of rockit I felt like a rookie I,m going to take it slow for awile.
Foesnasty and Franky anytime you guy's want to ride down this way I'll show you guy around well maybe just Foes the last time I rode w/ Franky is when I took my self out.
