Well, last night was shakedown flight for the new build, with a smorg on the back and a chunkey monkey on the front.
Tubeless on flows. Bike is a 456ti
Findings:
The chunky is brilliant! Massive, not much clearance within a ‘zocchi 44ti fork with a mucky-nutz in there. Went up easily enough with garden-sprayer as a compressor.
The smorg also went up easily enough but didn’t survive long in use.
Felt the rim a couple of times when riding up short flights of steps. (Which surprised me at >30psi)
On the second run down a rubbly-bouldery descent (Rivi ICR) I managed to destroy the thing. Two cuts in the tread beyond the healing capacity of Stans. Back to dual ply minion on the back I think 🙁
