Perhaps they might be persuaded to not only re-supply the Fast Track, but expand into other 29" specific products, like say, oh.... I don't know......BIKES maybe? Cloxxki, now that Mierhage is back to professional riding, I wonder if anyone might be able to ask him his side of the Specialized tire story. That might be an interesting story to hear!

Other tire makers will also see that if you make a 29" tire with a difference, you need not invest a single marketing penny to sell them and sell them quickly. Not doing it really is saying "no" to money. Less than a month! Not bad for a tire mold they’ve had for a year and a half :-)
