I live in Carson City, NV, so I ride dry rocky/sandy conditions. The tire is definitely not 2.1. It looks more like a 1.95 especially compared to my Nevegals. I have these mounted on DT 470 rims, set up tubeless. So far, I am happy with the grip and control even for the narrow profile. They hold air beautifully. The biggest difference compared to my Nevegals is rolling resistence. The Toros roll so much better. I got a set of Toro’s cheap on ebay and have ridden them for a couple of weeks.

Only mech discs. The Avid Juicy 3 stuff is on sale pretty cheap at a lot of on-line retailers sites, and I have used those with good results. Quad brakes are available through LBS retailers that deal with J&B Importers. Mike: I have not seen anything hydro in a lower end Shimano brake. Only mech discs.

I’m not sure that I could afford Deore XT hydraulic brakes. You haven't had any experience with or heard anything about the Shimano’s M485’s or Deore level hydraulics are? Where did you get your Quad Dime XC brakes?
