ecrock45: Holding up pretty well, but I must say, I don’t have a lot of off road miles on that set of hoops. They went back on my custom Pofahl bike which sat mostly unridden for the lions share of the summer due to testing with other rigs.

That said, I have no reason to believe that they won’t hold up over the long haul.

GT how is the 7.1d DT Swiss rim pictured holding up? Just bought a set laced to some 340′s for my road/street wheels. I’ll double check the archives for a review.

Enlightening review, Brother… I think the Monkey is onto something with his Ignitor front/Vulpine rear setup, though I might try to keep it in the WTB family and go with something like a Prowler front/Vulpine rear combo… or something like that. But I found your comparison of your tubed experience to your tubeless experience to be an interesting one, mainly because it is so similar to the results of my own tubed vs. tubeless testing. So many people doubt me when I tell them it makes that much difference, but you’re one of the few who have actually tried it for themselves and let your experience do the talking.

I love it when I completely forget to install tubes!

Lookin’ forward to riding with you at the Death Ride, my friend. I just spoke with Jason B. and he’s in too!! Woohoo!

I am running the Vulpine on the rear, with an Ignitor on the front. It has been a very good combo, but this is definitely a dry set up.
I was so excited to try them out, I completely forgot to instal tubes…:)
