If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I have 29x2.1 Icon(Edit: Ignitor, to be replaced with Icon) on the rear. A 2.4 Ardent replaced a punctured 2.1 Icon(Ignitor) out front.
I am a bit heavier than you and run them at 24psi. The interweb claims the Ardent shines in the mid-high teens. When I tried it there it was overly sloppy on the packed dirt path to the trailhead and I have been riding with it at 24. As I get some confidence back with more post-crash miles, I'll play with lower pressures again.

No one fast runs a tire like that around here. I also don't like the tread gap between the outboard and inboard tread. After swapping from a Hutchinson Cougar to the Ikons, I agree with them. What do I not understand?

haha yeah it strongly depends on your riding and normal trails. If your trail bike is a top fuel then yeah you should probably be running icons.
around me EVERYONE rides DHF Minions on the front and a lot of people run them rear as well (and our trail bikes have 150+mm travel).
I still stand by my opinion that an Icon sucks as a front tire.

I was told to think about the tread-pattern and that little gap on the edge in terms of time, the time to get the bike leaned-in another 3-5* to make grip. BTW, ******* loving MTB riding. I'm doing a 4-hour race in 9 days.

The hype is BS, but he is still riding at 105.

This is kind of cool: https://www.ecohelmet.com/
It's mostly aimed at bikeshare systems, to increase casual ridership by those who don't already have their own lid. Doesn't look like the most comfortable thing in the universe...
