Tires for Allaire

[Bike N Gear]

Last Saturday I rode Mezcal 2.1 front and rear, as I did every other time I ride there (maybe 4 times). I survived just fine each and every time.

Been one of those days. I can go for some Mezcal.

In your particular application you may want to go with Mezcal 40, maybe even 55...2.1 won't cut it.

But. Velociraptors aren't tubeless.

Ghetto tubeless lol

The early days of tubeless are something I want to forget forever. I remember the days when Stan's was a rubber rim strip with a valve glued to it.

You should try this new sealant/insert now selling at HD…

I just threw one of those away while cleaning out old dry rotted tires.
Of course it reminds me of this. @Frank

I used to love Kenda Kinetics. Good all purpose tread.

Is there a tire that will prevent Chiggers from eating you alive?

No. Chigs rule Allaire. MTBers go scratch. Literally.

I've picked up chiggers my last 2 times out. Magical little beasts.

They get me every single time I ride there. I even used TechNu scrub when I got home because I thought that would get them, but no.

Taken to wearing sun sleeves there during the active months. Reduced tick bites to near-zero, and chiggers only get me once every few weeks (I--unfortunately--wind up riding there 3-4 times a week).

I carry a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and spray my legs down after my ride. Wipe dry with paper towels and wear sandles home. Works better than my old ways for sure.

Went with Kenda. If for nothing else, for the sake of nostalgia.
