That's awesome bro, how do you like them? I'm so glad I upgraded to Maxxis Minions, the grip on soft packed trails is amazing.

Is that a dropper post I see on your ride? If so, how often do you use it?

I really like the Recon's. They are wider and 1.5 lbs lighter then the tires I took off. I really noticed the weight loss in the front. Trails are 50% bad / 50% horrible right now. Mud, snow, standing water, ice, slush. The big Recon's did really good staying on top of most of it. The dropper is great too and I do use it but not constantly. On trails I mostly like the seat slightly lower than normal. So the dropper comes in real handy when i'm on long flats or camp roads and I want the seat up higher.

You guys are crazy. Roads should be smooth flat and fast.

My buddy and I plan on doing some urban riding and tear up the downtown area. It'll include lots of stairs (firecrackers as it's called) and ledge gaps along the way. Should be fun.

I miss riding off road, Not to many hills in these parts. I used to do a lot of trails back in the day. But sadly my gear shifts have seized and a wheel bearing has gone bad keeping me in one speed. May be time for a new bike knowing the wife wants to ride as well. Both kids are able to ride (one still on training wheels)

I either ride my F150, my John Deere or my boat

Cool beans. I've been thinking about investing (they are $$$$) in one. You can see in my pic how low my seat is. I usually keep it that way because I don't ride smooth terrain very often. So, I'd rather have the clearance for jumps and stuff. I'll have to look into it some more. Thanks.
