Lol. That tune pops in my head most times I pump up my tyres!
TBH I run about 30 most of the time. When I run less it inevitably leads to rim dings. Could I do 28, or 26? probably… maybe. But I like ploughing into rocks with reckless abandon too much.

Currently running Hutchinson Griffus rlab (2.5F 2.4R). Stand arch rims (26mm I think - not wide)
I’ve got some Schwalbe MM/HD soft/gravity tyres to try out. But was saving them to throw on for tassie later this year or if I go do shuttles somewhere.

Well, I had to look up what an rLab was

These ones? Seems to review very nicely!eThirteen do their Grappler (~Assegei) 29x2.5" in enduro casings and an "endurance"/eBike ready compound.
Dirtworks are showing stock (and on significant discount) on their website:
Could be worth a crack.
I sort of suspect that the thicker sidewalls and harder compound might make the tyre feel very stiff though. I know that sounds a bit yeah-derr... But meaning it'd be less easy for the sidewall to conform to objects on the trail surface, side knobs deflect less so might either feel less grippy or give away a little more suddenly when right on the limit compared to an enduro/DD/tough casng with a soft compound rubber.
E*thirteen Grappler Enduro MoPo 2023 tyre review - MBR
We tested this E*thirteen gravity tyre last year and it blew us away with its performance. The Grappler is available in two casing and compound options, including a thick dual ply version designed for DH and enduro racing on the hardest tracks in the world. After a dubious start with its TRS...

The Reverb AXS and the Magura Veyron both need to be sent for service. X Fusion wireless has gone quiet and not much more news on the Trans X wireless.
Price will be ouch but interested to see the launched product.

These look really coooool.
(I could find a use for a Z1 coil couldn't I? Enablers assemble!)

You're probably better off buying a Z1 air and putting the slight saving towards a Smashpot kit. Not a lot of coil weight options in the Z1 range, availability is patchy and spring consistency is questionable.

Comments section talks about homologation rules. UCI did this for TDF stuff, but not sure if same rules apply to mtb racing? https://en.brujulabike.com/new-uci-rules-fines-prototypes-competition-teams/Fkn lol.

Decent posts. Good to see it's still got the mechanical reset lever. Not sure what sets it off but it always seems to happen after working on the bike, post gone spongy and needs reset in the garage, never happened on the trail.
