Went to ride the trails at Harris Lake County Park this past weekend. The trails are as great mix, but they weren't to kind to me. At about the 4.45mi marker I noticed my rear tire was squishing a little too much. Pulled over and heard the infamous hissing. Slowly spun the tire around to find a metal fence staple had made a u-turn in my rear tire. Sucked but I did have a extra tube and CO2 bottle for tubeless emergencies like these. And 12 mins later I was back in the trail and finished it the 9.5mi ride with no issues.
The bonus for me was the opportunity to do a little too upgrade I've been thinking about. Currently I had a 2.1" Maxxis Advantage in the rear and a 2.25" Maxxis Ardent up front. My plan now is to order a Maxxis 2.4" Ardent for the front and move the 2.25" Ardent to the rear. The 2.25" is only about 8 months old whole while the 2.1" is 4 yrs old.
