They both broke on the Red Trail @ Copper on separate rock strikes. I probably burped the tires and then hit the next rock with lower PSI. There is a chance they were starting to break before Copper, but Copper definitely finished them off. My home trail is Hawk Ridge in Duluth, MN and it’s very rocky. I don’t jump or do crazy downhill stuff. I’m a singlespeeder and I ride it hard on techy XC trails. They broke under normal use in less than 1 year.
