    I'm running Stans 355's on my I9's and so far they are great no issues whats so ever tubeless is a breeze

    I ride a lot of AM type stuff out here, the 5.1's are good, however they are hard to get some tyres on due to the lip on the rim. Tried them out on a full run today proper abuse and rocky surfaces, busted the rear one up so pretty gutted. For medium to hard use they are superb, I wouldn't reccomend them if your a nutter on the bike like me.

    Next up on my list is Halo SAS Pro Disc, pick it up friday =D
    I use all 9 inches.
