29" Assegai MaxxGrip
They have 'em in EXO+ and in DD. This isn't some bullshit Dual Compound mystery tire deal.
Edit: https://www.jensonusa.com/Maxxis-Min...e-No-Packaging
Just realized they have the same deal for 29" DHRII. $60 EXO+ or DD.
Thanks man! My wife is hooked on Assegais front and rear so has 2 new tires on the way.Quote:

I had issues with the Jensen website but buddy on the phone got it all sorted out
I wore out my 2nd set of the DD Assegai/ DHRII combo, good tire and no reliability issues IME
Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it...Quote:

I think Assguys in 2.5 front & rear would be heavy if you don't have the motor which must be why SC paired a DHRII with an Assguy
I teed that up for someone and no one bit?!Quote:

well exactly and its more likely you will be to be able to keep up if she is on the big rubber ;)
that is a great price the Assguy is normaly the most expensive MTB tire Maxxi makes
but Jensen has Assguy cheaper than the Minion DHRII for the rear tire
Sounds like jensen really does hate canada cuz their system appears to be having issues with exchange

That is pretty disappointing :frown:Quote:

good lead on the adidas sale
I rode bikes (not my own) with dual Assegais twice. Holy shit, that is the slowest rolling tire combination ever. Its like riding with rubbing brakes. It's so slow that it's even noticeable going downhill on a 50 lb ebike.
Adidas had 8% kickback on Activejunky for a while too.Quote:

WTB has some Proterra aluminum wheels on sale cheep with free ship. Not high end, but I figured a spare set of mid line wheels for $250 is worth it

FKNA. Just used that for a pair of women’s Impact Pros for mrs jm2e. Brought the price down from $80 to$56Quote:

Dual Assguys is mental. I did it once when its all I had in the garage. Both MaxxGrip too lol. I couldn't get the bike to drift at all even in pretty much loose gravel/sand/marbles. Crazy slow too.
I saw some lady over the summer with assguy rear, rekon front. I was too afraid to ask whyQuote:

All of the Costco carbon Intense 951 bikes are discounted:
https://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch...d=intense+bike
$2000 for the Trail (Primer frame)
$1800 for the XC (Sniper T frame)
$1500 for the gravel SRAM build (not sure what frame this is--probably some open mold OEM option)
GRX build looks sold out right now.
Seems like good deals if that's what you're looking for, but I'm not at this point given all the other sales that have occurred. Might be interesting to try to get my wife on the XC, but I think I'd want a much lighter weight build for her.
Gravel is interesting, but I think it is pretty ugly and I'm not sure what to expect from the frameset. Seems like a nice entry point if you are looking to do some gravel riding, but more of a side-grade for my current setup.
JFC, I’m currently looking for a FS for around $2000. Can anyone comment on that Intense Trail Bike? Any reasons I shouldn’t pull the trigger?Quote:

You get a Rhythm fork (little heavier, can't upgrade the damper, but otherwise perfectly fine). NX Drivetrain (I never had any problems--figured I would just upgrade pieces if they got funny, but they never did). I liked the feel of the TRP Slate T4 brakes they included. Geometry maybe isn't on the leading edge of things, but it seemed fine. Came with bottle+cage and a tool kit including a nice torque wrench.
Biggest downside IMHO was the wheelset. Pretty generic OEM set (probably the same as this $154 wheelset) and uses an HG cassette which means that if you want to upgrade your wheels you're stuck upgrading your cassette at the same time. But they roll, and I don't think they were boat anchors. Looks like the current builds spec Kenda Pinner 2.4" tires--I have no experience with those, mine came with 2.6" regolith pros which seemed good in my local terrain.
I think the XC is a little more interesting as the Sniper T is a frameset that people had a lot of good things to say about. The Primer isn't bad, but I don't think it was something that people raved about when it came out...but if you want 150/140mm travel, 2k for a new bike with warranty AND costco return policy seems like a good deal.
^^^ thanks, great info. The other bike that I’ve got my eyes on is the 2021 Norco Fluid 1, that I can get locally at an LBS for the same price as this Intense. Here are the specs. I believe overall it’s better component-wise but it has less travel and is 2 lbs heavier?

I think a bit lower end suspension, but I'm a fox snob too.
The Pike isn’t as good as the Fox fork on the Intense?Quote:

I don't think there's a clear winner between the two. Buying a bike from a local shop might be preferable to buying from Costco; depends on the shop.
IMHO a Pike (Charger damper) is much better than a Fox Performance with the Grip 1 damper.
I find RockShox generally much more plush and tuneable than Fox, until you get to the Fox 36 and higher end dampers (Grip 2).
A friend of mine was on a Primer for a bunch of years. A bit big for me but I got to ride it some, and then demo'd one in a more appropriate size. I might have bought one if it weren't for shortages during covifd. It really liked the way it pedaled. Felt real firm on climbs and then nice an plush on the descents. Friend rode it all over the place. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if I was in the market for a bike. Just upgrade components as they wear out.Quote:
