>> >> Hi Neil,
>> >>
>> >> My wife and I just completed a 476 mi, 7 day tour of the Natchez
>> >> Trace. (It's a historic road that winds through three US states,
>> >> Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.) We camped three of the six
>> >> nights carrying all of our gear on the X2 while the other three
>> >> nights we spent in motels. The X2 performed flawlessly. No problems
>> >> at all and that includes disassembly and assembly carting it to and
>> >> from the Trace. I lashed the front half to the top of our compact
>> >> station wagon and stuffed the rear along with our gear in the back.
>> >> Funny thing, just yesterday we took a 40 mi trek around our town and
>> >> twenty miles into it we had a rear tire go flat. I couldn't believe
>> >> it, 476 miles no flats, 40 miles and bingo! <grin>
>> >>
>> >> Anyway, our rear tire probably has only 500 miles or so left (we
>> >> currently have just under 1,000 miles on the X2) so I'm researching
>> >> replacements. Given we ride almost entirely on paved surfaces I'd
>> >> appreciate your recommendations for a good rear tire or should I
> > >> stick with the original manufacturer and style (Schwalbe, Dirty
> > >> Harry)?
> > >>
> > >> By the way, if you'd like to include a few pics of our trip with the
>> >> X2 on the ICE web site I'd be more than happy to send some your way.
>> >>
>> >> I know I've said it before but it bears repeating...thanks for a great
>> >product!

ICE NOTE:- we now fit the Maxxis Ringworm 110 psi rated heavy duty rear tyre on tandems
