Wow, what a fun bike! Even faster than expected, especially uphill and in turns. The steering is very direct, it feels like flying! But only to the point where the trail is full of roots. That's when I prefer a fully.
Same as in real life, you gotta make your decisions according to the situation and there's never the perfect solution.
Here's a memo for Sepp and all other riders with those tubes in the tires: Rear wheel has no tubes but stan's sealant. Front wheel had a tube and no sealant. I got a damn flat on HWY 101 on the way home on my first ride with a tube!!!! Now then, tube is in the trash and tire got 0.5 dl Stan's tire sealant.
Go tubeless and keep flying
