    I agree. Buy Russ's Ikons in the Buy/Sell forum.

    Sweet tires; I've been running the Ikons on my Niner for the last 3 years and love 'em.

    I agree. You should buy my tires. I'll give 'em to you for 20 ea.
    new guys tend to go for big knobs but it's harder to ride big knobs cause they corner like shit (they get squirmy) and have massive rolling resistance.
    my 2 cents on tubless is don't bother unless you have a tubeless wheel. It can be a pain, but if you have a tubeless wheel almost any tire will seal up with sealant.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Crap, at that price I'd even be tempted to buy them for a bike I don't even ride.

    I agree with the tubeless sentiment. Mine were a pain getting them to seat and seal on a non tubeless rim, but the tire was even worse with sealant seaping out of the porous sidewalls. It worked, though, and I love it.
