I have seen a few guys on some races doing this.. the feedback was not to put the magix compound on the rear, as it's more prone to lug tear from the base.. I guess this is because on the WE there is a weird stickier outer layer and harder rubber underneath ... more »

so is He on his own thing with Commencal as frame sponsor ??
