Actually, the Ardent has a single-ply foldable bead option (and a 2-ply wire bead option).
Thanks for the info! 😃 I was looking at the wire bead version only because I can get a good price on a set of them from Blue Sky Cycling, $25 per tire. The only thing I am a little worried about is the weight of the wire bead version which is about 1100 grams as opposed to the foldable which is about 800 grams. Although, I guess that’s not that much considering that my bike is pretty heavy for an all mountain bike, about 33lbs and adding another 1100 grams on both the front and rear probably won’t make a huge difference.
