good write up! you covered all departments of this tire well and was insightful. A few comments though, I would expect this tire to be junk in the dry/hard pack because it is a mud specific tire, nothing else. also, I do not understand this trend of running a mud spike in the rear and something else in front. If you look at Greg Minnaar or Steve Peat they run the exact same tire front AND rear (barring special circumstances i.e. Canberra, Sea Otter, Fontana etc. for pedaling type scenarios) because it creates predictability front to rear. bit of a rant, but felt strongly about this. Again, excellent write up, keep up the good work and I look forward to the next tests and reviews!!!

the Jagwire space age 2.0 cutter only does normal style brake hose, no braided or cable housing. if you want to do cable housing or other crazy cutting job, there is a tool for that. http://jagwireusa.com/index.php/products/category/tools something for everybody here

just a comment, I use a crescent wrench most of the time to do rotor straightening and it work, but the park tool and the new JagWire multi-rotor/brake tool are really valuable. has anybody bent rotors in the same way in the same place every time? no, sometimes its a small bend that goes a good way around the rotor, sometimes its a big bend in one spot close to the outer ring of the rotor and sometimes its a medium bend that comes from deep near the center of the rotor. each situation requires a different tool. As I said before I use a crescent wrench but it doesn't have the depth to do the low bends. more of a comment than I have ever written but felt it was being overlooked. great articles, keep them up!!!

How did you like your Banshee compared to your DHR, which one ran smoother, cornered better? I'm looking to buy one of the two and I'm looking for more info on the rides.
Thanks.
