## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install with air compressor
*by R***Y on July 14, 2020*

I installed these on a 2012 Trek super fly with Bontrager mustang 29's---the wheels were already tubeless ready and I had rims drilled previously to accommodate schrader valve cores---the rims had "plastic like" elastic non-adhesive strips---I cleaned the rims and the strips and re-installed--I had purchased gorilla tape to seal but did not need to use--using 2 plastic tire levers the wheels fitted on the rims in less than 5 minutes---using an air compressor made seating the tire on the bead super easy---I took the bike out the next day on the trail---rode 13 miles and did not loose any noticeable tire pressure---you do have to use tire sealer on the install --I used regular bulk slime in a gallon jug I keep around for other tires---using the slime as an experiment--so far it is sealing very well--too convert to tubeless you will need tubeless valve cores---use either presta style or schrader--I still prefer schrader...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesomeness
*by J***Z on March 19, 2024*

Loved em perfect tire

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grippy in dirt
*by K***T on February 9, 2022*

Sticks well in dirt. On hard pack though, cannot take hands off bars, because center tread design pulls to either side constantly. Won’t buy again fir that reason
