Arizona Rock Crawler

Give it 500 miles or so of break in. They just get better and better. Don't be shy coming in hot off a free way offramp. Just don't be unsafe about it. You'll have to re-learn how much pedal to put into it. And just wait to see how they are on the trail! Ever had to keep your foot on the brake waiting for someone in front of you to get over an obstacle? It's amazing how much less pressure you need to apply, and saves your leg for sure.

After I finished my final break in cycle today I tested that a bit. Came into the light at about 55 and the tires locked right up and I was able to stop well before I needed to. Pretty amazing. I’m curious how these pads will feel with 35s on.

Won’t use them for a while. Couldn’t pass up the good deal though since I will move to them eventually

@mrblaine what do you think about running this tire? I previously had this one as my spare but had to but it on after blowing up the other one. Can’t tell if it’s safe or not to use long term. It got me home and holds air though

Looks like a great spare.

Looks like a great spare.

Could a patch make it safe? I have another tire to replace my spare but trying to avoid buying another one to replace this. Otherwise this might be might motivator to bite the bullet and move to 35s

Not in my world. Not worth it to me.

Time for 35’s

33’s are fun though.

 

[bobthetj03]

Make sure you get true 35's. Blaine will show you how to tell.
