I Agree Ikons are Shite Wear Too Fast. at the Moment Ardent Race (Full House) is my Goto Tyre At the Back.

To Decontaminate Disks Take Disk Off the Wheel Shield Car Wash Neat and a Nail Brush 15 Minutes per Side Work The Dirt out of the Holes. Be Careful Not to bend the Disks. Do the same to the Pads but Only 2 Minutes. If the Back Brake Can Lock the Back Wheel on Tar It's Working Good. A bit more difficult to test the Front (OTB).

Medication Takes Long to Get Out of Your System. I took Antibiotics and Could Not go above 130 Now It's back to 163 Max I'm 62 and 3/4 Years Old.

The OP Wants to Ride Trails, Those are XC Tyres.

Your Local Petrol Garage (Where you Normally Fill Up Your Car).

If the Tape or Valve Seat is Compromised Then Sealant Will Leak Out.

2 to 3 Months if you don't have a puncture and air Loss is Minimal. If you have a Puncture or Are Losing air - Immediately - Every Year it is Advisable to Redo the Sealant from Scratch. Tubeless will Tell you if it is "Not Happy" Thorn Puncture that Does Not Seal. (Redo Sealant and Plug Hole) More than 5% Air Pressure Loss per Week (Redo Sealant) Air Pressure Loss During a Ride (Redo Sealant)

I save a lot of money by riding Only 10 Speed. Lasts Much Longer and Costs Much Less to Maintain. I have a cassette with 16000 Km that Still Looks and Works 100% on my "Spare Bike". 1X Chain Rings (Various Brands Purchased) however only Last about 5000 Km because they Wear in Sync with the Chain Wear.(about 12c per Km). Many years ago I had my Bikes Serviced by LBS Yearly but every Service they Wanted to Change a Lot of stuff that was Still OK. Now I do Most of the Maintenance Myself. If I need work done on a Wheel I take just the Wheel in to LBS.

Maxxis Ardent 2.40 in Front Maxxis Ardent Race 2.35 Rear or Maxxis Rekon Race 2.40 Rear +- R1400 for Both. Get a Bike Shop to do it 4 You First Time Around. Roughly R2000 Includes Tyres Sealant Valves and Labour. Get a Tubeless Repair Kit -Plugs- and Inserter and a Valve Core Remover. Find Out What Sealant they Put in get a bottle for Top Up. (Top Up At least every 2 Months) Get a good Big Pump for Home and a Good Small Pump to carry. Get a Good Pressure Gauge.

Have you checked your pressure Gauge ?

I don't Think that they will last that long. The Edenvale Shop has already closed last December. It was handy for me to buy a cable or Tyre etc. But you always had to barter on price. Otherwise I never had bad Service from them.

Watch Like Garmin Forerunner 35 or Similar. This will be most Flexible - Bike - Run - Walk Garmin Edge 130 or Wahoo Element Mini for Bike Only.

29" (ISO size 622) is actually the same rim diameter as 700C

You could try the Strava App Paired to a Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Monitor. Cost is Nothing if you have a HRM.

Sometimes it is Possible to Tune the Damper by using an Oil that is Slightly more Viscous for the Heavier Riders using the 30 and 32 mm Stanchions.

Make Sure the Wheel you buy is correctly dished for 10 Speed and is compatible to your frame.

You Can Remove the Lowers Without Releasing the Pressure. Nothing Will Happen. Don't Remove the Aircap Without Releasing Pressure. Then You Got A Popgun

Why not Stick to the current cassette and Run a 30 tooth up front instead of the 32. If I remember correctly you can put a 7 Speed Cassette on a 8 Speed Freehub but Not the Other Way Around.

Top End Will be Reduced Slightly by 5.5 % approximately. 40 Km/Hr becomes 37,8 Km/Hr approximately

There is a 20% Efficiency Loss so I'd Say 8 hours 10 Minutes.

I've Also Had Both in Front - I feel the Ardent "Bites Better" on Soft Sand but It's a Slower Tyre.
