I am a natural skeptic, there is a lot of hype and BS in the world, and so when James Curry first told me about his product Tube Saddle® I was like “yah, sure….”. But I will try stuff, so I installed them, with no problem, and went off to the Tecate Enduro. On my KTM 500EXC I would normally run 16-18 lbs of pressure for a brutally rough event like Tecate. Per his recommendation I ran 11 lbs front and rear. The bike handled great and I was one of the few 50+ riders to finish the event. Then I trail rode several weekends, gnarly nasty trail rides always running 9-10lbs of air pressure.
Then it was off to Virginia City Grand Prix, one of the most chewed up rock strewn races anywhere. I ran 10lbs of air, the bike worked fantastic and I won the 50+ expert class. Okay so at this point, I finally believe. Here is where the rubber meets the road: My KTM 500 handles MUCH better with 10lbs of air pressure than it does with 15lbs. Tube Saddles allow me to run this low pressure and not get pinch flats.
Very, very cool. Thanks for the great product.
