Me, circa 2009/2010: hey Maxxis, you should release a shorter version of a mud spike, since many racers cut their spikes and there is really nothing in between an intermediate tire and a deep mud tire. Maxxis: Nu uh. not gonna happen. 2014: surprise! hahaha...... oh jeeze

So many variables goes into why the UCI chooses a venue to host a WC. There is a lot of criteria that falls outside of track style that determines who gets to host a WC.

I'm tired of WC racers complaining about tracks not suiting their skillsets. F*ck off already and adapt.

Now a lot of the field are really fit and the equipment is on a level playing field. Back then...
Again comparing to the moto world, I used to run a Michelin Bib Mousse in my front tire. Its essentially a solid foam tube that is 100% impossible to flat. I ran those for races so I could just smash into stuff without a care about flatting. The downside was that it was a boat anchor. So heavy it affected...
I remember speaking with the guy behind Nuetec TuBliss for motorbikes. He said that for mtb's it was harder to design a similar design of using an inner chamber system because mtb tires aren't structurally rigid..... or something along those lines. I have gotten pinch flats using tubeless dual ply tires and about 35psi. Yes, holes in the sidewalls of...

I have one in my garage waiting for my frame to be welded. After owning a Vengeance, I am more than stoked to ride this one. Unlike the reviewer, I prefer a bolt on axle. It takes a little more time but it is way more trustworthy in my opinion than QR levers.
