"Thoughts:\n \n\n\n\tIn the seven seasons that I have been riding tubeless, I have irreparably flatted four times--once when I sliced a side wall, once more when a knob tore off, and twice this season with simple punctures through the tread casing. The first two instances would've occurred regardless of sealant; the latter two should not have happened ... except I was using Orange Seal. So fuck that shit. Once my economy jug is empty, I am going back to Stan's. Hike-a-bike is less fun that previously indicated.\n \n\n\n\t Also--steak is indeed real. Steel even more so. I can descend at speeds through chatter on my steel hardtail that would've beaten me to death on previous aluminum-framed hardtails. Granted, I'm still faster on my squishy, but not by as much as one would think.\n \n\n\n\tOnly hesitation for steel in your neck of the woods would be moisture and rust. If you have the cash, consider titanium--it'll last you a lifetime.\n \n\n\n\tBut steel in Idaho is nearly as good, just heavier.\n \n"
