    I like the looks of the stump jumper. Are you guys running tubeless?

    It came tubeless because he agreed to set it up tubeless as an add on to buy the bike lol.

    I ran tube on my hardtail, and got a few tube punctures and that was at 30psi or more. Have had one flat on this tubeless setup and it sealed itself. But other than that my comparison is apples to oranges.

    27.5 x 2.3 compared to 29 x 2.6. Then all the other bike differences...

    If your wheels are tubeless compatible it’s easy peasy. If not, well...new wheels lol

    Sounds like a place worth checking out for sure!

    Enough tape and slime can seal any rim! :rofl:

    I gotcha, I look at it as a good way to meet others and learn. I would like to ride with everyone and get tips.

    Yeah it would be phenomenal for that. I just know I’m not in any kind of shape yet to personally feel comfortable racing. I’m also not confident enough either. I know there are amateur and beginner classes but mentally I just don’t want to do any of it. You’ll meet plenty of folks even not racing.

    Dont think of it as a race, think of it as a fun long group ride. No need to worry about placing. Just do it to do it. Thats what i want to do.
