    Thanks. Recent veterinary visit = 4 carbon wheels, so on hold until next year. Such is life.

    Boo. Hope the doggo is okay.

    He’s practically bionic at this point. Both knee joints rebuilt with metal plates. But this time it’s diabetes. Boo indeed.

    I won a (single) WTB Riddler 37c a while back and decided to get a second Riddler in 45c for Croatan. Set them up tubeless yesterday (45 front, 37 rear) and they are pluuuuuuuuuush. They’re at whatever pressure was needed to get the beads to pop (so relatively high) and even then I felt like I cruising through the potholes in Georgetown and along Penna Ave.

    I think I need to hear the story about how you won a single tire.

    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Totally can’t remember! Possibly GRUSK two or three years ago?

    I’d be interested to hear how well they last. I just read a review of an $8,500 titanium Moots that had the Riddlers on it (the bike, not the review). They said the tire cut up easily, but they were using it offroad.

    Review for anyone interested:

    Ha! They mention the Bruce Gordon Rock N Roads, which are the tires I took off to replace with the Riddlers (for Croatan). I do love my RnR’s!

    I’m eyeing a set of those, along with others (mainly the Rene Herse Pumpkin Ridge) for C&O trips but they are a tiny bit narrower than I’d like. I did an overnight last year on WTB Horizons and it was orders of magnitude better than the 700x35s I rode for ~700 trail miles before that.
