Today I replaced the tube on the rear wheel of the RockHopper. It had been patched a while back but seemed to have recently developed a slow leak, so I splurged and put on a new tube.
I have to say that I am so impressed with the 26x2.2 Speed King. Not only does it ride about like a RTP from Rene Herse, but it has just enough tread to function in the rear on our slippery trail patches (at least so far this “winter”) and it also can be pulled off the rim without tools to swap a tube. It goes back on so easy that it requires essentially no hand strength. Changing a tube with the RTP involved both tools and curse words. 😊
