One and Done


This was the tire I had intended to have on my front wheel during the Kokopelli ride, the S-Works Eskar 2.35 2Bliss.
I took it for a test ride at Grindstone Park. About an hour into the ride on a gnarly steep decent, we stopped at the bottom to recount the run, when someone said, hey you have a flat.
Needless to say after using a mini pump viciously to get the beads to hook up again, all you could hear was the lovely sound of psssssssssshhhhh.
The sidewall was trashed, so we threw in a tube and went on like no body's business. It's a real shame, because i really liked how the tire hooked up with the trail and it really rolled well.
Maybe I will test it's brother the Armadillo Eskar.
