"Rare and magical" indeed!
Curious the choice of MaxxTerra over MaxxGrip (assuming the latter was available?) Harder wearing compound for the dry season? I find MaxxTerra a little lacking relative to WTB High Grip or Schwalbe Soft.
Guessing there will be an article re: XM421 rims in the near future (I think you alluded to the narrower rim selection a few comments-sections ago), but if you have preliminary thoughts on that rim choice I'd love to hear your take. My Velocity Blunt SS rims aren't quite up to snuff any more (seem to go out of true every third ride, even w/inserts F+R) and I'm contemplating the 421's as a replacement. Wishing DT had a 27-28iD rim on offer, though...
