Yeah I thought they were great! They are a cx race tyre though, I'm sure you can get cheap more grippy tyres for chopping in the woods but these were fast on all surfaces. They are definitely 'tubeless only' tyres in the sense that you only want to mount these fuckers once (of course I'm running them tubed). If/when I get a puncture at a CX race or on a bridleway it will definitely be a volvo ride home /20 minute bleeding thumb extravaganza. Only aspects left outstanding is 1) sidewall suppleness as I was running quite a high pressure and 2) skid grip. I was running my CX bike SS today instead of fixed. It's important to me and The Scene that I run it FGCX but when I want to shred on trails new to me it's just a bit wiser to cheat with a freewheel.
