    Yeah.
    I don't race either. Lower pressure probably slows you down, but it gives you better grip, so it's probably a little safer.

    It's been zero additional maintenance for me, probably less since I haven't had to change out a tube. I always check tire pressures once a week before a ride, and they require the same amount of top-off as tubed tires did.

    I'll try to post a pic. I'm still riding my 1989 Trek 8000 from High School. The only upgrades have been brakes, rims and tires. It's still lighter than most bikes but I'm thinking about upgrading the derailers, shifters, and a shock.

    just got back from a ride...man i love my ex8 i feel safer going a lot faster on downhills with big roots and drops compared to my wahoo. i was hitting a few jumps too haha not too big maybe getting a few feet of air on the biggest idk atleast thats what it felt like haha.

    i also tried that strava app. its pretty cool but i forgot to stop it when i started driving away so it probably messed it up a bit. i guess im ranked 17 out of 38 for the overall trail which isnt too bad i guess but im just getting back into riding from last fall so hopefully i will get a lot faster

    My Dingle! It's an old Diamondback Vertex frame that I built up into a 2 speed.

    Mid build. I removed all of the decals and polished the frame.
