Well for the SECOND time i punctured a rear tire on the 2016 700se, 320 miles… Not a huge fan of these stock maxxis tires. Although I might just have bad luck.. First time i ran over a hay rake spike off a tractor, and that was easily patchable (not so much the tires fault). But just recently i was riding and clipped a rock sticking out into the trail and as soon as i hit it i got a gut wrenching feeling it cut the tire and sure enough i look down and its almost flat already. Not patchable this time, big old gash in the sidewall. So thanks to CarbonGrizzly i got a set of used tires that i just got mounted today! So the grizz is back in action!! It has been a long two weeks even though i havent even had the chance to ride it, it still pissed me off she was out of order! So as soon as i got the tire back i mounted it up and gave her a much needed wash AND WAX! Probbably should have taken some better pictures.. And while i was at it i found a Busch trophy can ; )
Back in Action
