I own a 22 stumpy evo expert. The bike is awesome and I am continually impressed by how efficiently it pedals while still being fun on the descents. On the subject of the tires, they started out awesome. Now with about 3 months on them I have flatted the rear twice with large enough tears to require internal patches once home. Several knobs have torn off partially at the casing level, not the typical edge knob undercutting. I superglued those back on and they have held. I don’t think I will be replacing them with another set of Specialized as I typically get more miles with less problems out of Maxxis exo casing. 190 lbs, 5’ 7”, riding in Colorado, 28psi front and rear with no inserts.
