UST tire recommendations?

JD said:

There, [censored] is [censored] to me. Gain about 100 lbs, ride some technical, then come back and tell us how
great that lightweight gimmick junk is.

JD you owe me $1

OOOOoooOOOooo.

Methinks your compensatory facade is showing.

My experience with Crossmax UST has been quite good. I would recommend them to anyone.

You are trying too hard.

No dollah for you.

Call it what you will, however the fact remains: You don't weigh as much as I do, nor do you ride
where I do.

OK, Here's my problem with your assessment.

You don't weigh as much as I do, or ride where I do.

Don't play the "My trails are harsher than your trails" card, it sounds weak and doesn't work.
Austin is plenty technical.

Why do I need to weigh 270 pounds in order to have a valid opinion? Are you saying you represent the
average rider? According to you, the wheels you demoed went out of true over the course of just a
few rides. Granted, you weigh more than I do. But why have my wheels held true for two years? It
seems that if they were that weak under you, I should have seen problems by now. Hmmmm.

Why does your 2 week stint several years ago have more relevance than my two year stint?

I think your experience is a pretty shaky basis for writing off a product that many people are quite
happy with.

My final assessment: You are as uptight about fashion as the racer propellerheads. The computer
comment sealed that deal.

OK, Here's my problem with your assessment.

The fact that it's mine seems to be the gist of your problem.

Quoted message said:

You don't weigh as much as I do, or ride where I do.

You don't, that's a fact and was stated as such.

Quoted message said:

Don't play the "My trails are harsher than your

Quoted message said:

weak and doesn't work. Austin is plenty technical.

Call it what you will, the fact remains that you don't ride here. If you read something into what I
wrote, that's your hangup, not mine. I've never been to Austin, nor do I wish to go there, so I'll
never really know, will I?

Quoted message said:

Why do I need to weigh 270 pounds in order to have a

valid opinion?

You don't. Nobody does because opinions are subjective to personal experience.

Quoted message said:

Are you saying you represent the average rider?

Not even close. The "average rider" would have to be of average size and I am by no means
average sized.

Quoted message said:

According to you, the wheels you demoed went out of true over the course of just a few rides.

Not according to me, they did and I was stating fact. My purpose here is not to lie.

Quoted message said:

Granted, you weigh more than I do. But why have my

wheels held true for

Quoted message said:

two years?

You tell me. There are many factors that have not been, nor could be easily revealed by words alone.

Quoted message said:

It seems that if they were that weak under you, I

should have

Quoted message said:

seen problems by now. Hmmmm.

Again, you don't weigh as much as me, nor do you ride where I do.

Quoted message said:

Why does your 2 week stint several years ago have

more relevance than my

Quoted message said:

two year stint?

I never said it did. Try putting words into the mouth of someone else.

Common sense dictates that what works well for larger riders, should last even longer for smaller
ones, especially entry level to intermediate riders because they normally don't ride as smoothly
as those more experienced. Common sense is a rare commodity nowdays, though some still know how
to use it.

Quoted message said:

I don't. That's just your opinion of my experience, of which you were not present for.

Quoted message said:

Call it fashion, eschewing electronic gadgetry and unconventional hype-driven junk, that's your
prerogative. I call it FU to the sheep who think that all of the latest is the greatest. If that's
what you call a fashion or uptight opinion or attitude, again, that's your prerogative.

Don't forget your cell phone on your next ride.

No, really its all about you. A computer is just that, a computer. You are the one ascribing magical
powers to it.

OK, I forgot (again) about your KeWl online persona. I was debating, you were trolling. Have fun
with that. Oh, and you forgot to wave it in that direction....

P.s. If you ever need this flatlander to wander up to Elitorado to show you how to climb again, I
may or may not be busy that day. ;*) Sho long Schmuck.

If I am not that important, why do you feel the need to contradict what I have to say about techno

I prefer to think of it as a "bellow" and further from desperate, I could not be.

Quoted message said:

Nobody, yet. We rode together once and you were so busy showing me how to climb, we really didn't
ride together, now did we? I would never deny that you climb rather deftly. Too bad you see it as
some kind of "trump card", evidenced by the last portion of your post below.

The butting on your down tube probably has more serious technology going on than my oh so innovative
Cateye Enduro 2. The UST concept has been around for 6 years now, which by the standards of our
sport is positively Methuselean. I contradict you out of a selfless desire to temper your brand of
hype with some semi-balanced views. I can hear the echoes of all the newbies who came into my shop
saying, "Oh I read on the net that (such and so) is [censored]."

Shrouded memory. I remember a rollicking downhill session on the Colorado Trail, with you on my tail
making me wich for disc brakes every time I started to lose the back end of the bike.

I need a downtube, not a piece of electronic [censored] on my handlebars. Perhaps you misunderstood my
definition of "techno [censored]".

Not whining, just pointing out that you chose to go somewhere I don't with AM-B members whom I have
ridden with. Everyone has their weaknesses and strengths, this is an undeniable fact. I just found
it rather sad and somewhat desperate that you felt the need to go there.
