    Sup yawl,

    So I rode Harding two times in the last two weeks and popped 3 tubes because of tiny thorns in my tires which gave me so slow leaks. Anyone have this problem with Harding? Makes me want to go tubeless

    From my experience, thorns and Harding go together like ice and cream.

    Agree, slowly switching over to UST rims as I wear out rims. Not a fan of ghetto tubeless. There where no UST rims when I built my last two 29ers.
