Well put. I can feel the angst. I'm still curious about the question though--how good are these people? Fit climbers but mostly incompetent riders, except for the sweaty guy bringing up the rear? What I really want from my reviewer \(besides tight writing, not too many adjectives\) is the ability to feel a meaningful difference between Brand A and Brand B, and then tell me about it. I don't want to hear that Brand A and Brand B are both pretty great, or that Brand B might be a little better than Brand A, but Brand A was tested during that particularly muddy week, so maybe its fine. Bonus points if you can take a razor blade to Brand B's tread pattern and create a super-tire that is way better than Brand B or Brand A.
