I have been riding on 29er Geax AKA's TNT on ZTR Flow rims for about a month now. I am about 100 kg and run about 2bar back and front without any problems at all. It is a real bugger to fit the tyre on the rim (so I'm told by my LBS), but once fitted you don't get one drop of sealant leaking and the pressure stays pretty even. I don't know how the AKA's will handle wet terrain but they have been good in dry conditions (they look a lot like the Kenda Small Block Eight - great in the dry by not too good in the mud) Hope that helps.

I rode with Coenie on Monday and I ended up pushing on a section that he rode :-( The picture does not do the bike justice, it really is very flipping cool in the flesh (or is that carbon)

I agree with you MariusL – I think that I own the same CAAD9 frame as you (If you are who I think you are we rode together on the WCE route prior to the race - yours is black with red letters/sram force) I can confirm that my CAAD9 rides better than my full carbon Cannondale. For me it has a better "feel" and response on the road. My carbon bike is slightly lighter than the aluminium CAAD9 but for me it still can't match the ride.
