Cool and congrats. You are gonna love it once you put some miles on it.

Congrats and good work on getting her to bead up! This tire is the gift that keeps giving. You'll slowly notice all the good things that it offers. Get some pictures up when you can!

I liked the darkside from mile 1,but the more I ride it the more it shines.

Welcome to the darkside. Unlike a mt a ct only improves with age.
