this is exactly what I’ve been asking
Would anyone trust a dub as a front tire? It seems grippier than my fast trak but at the same time this feels really stupid
Is that wear from only two rides? 
Think I’ll cancel my order …
Technically one ride since that photo is before the 2nd. I think this is just a defect cause no one else has the same issues.
Is that the front or rear tire (cant tell by photo) if its the rear do you drag/skid the tire a lot? I have a lot of knobs on my rear Ralph that look like that - I skid/drag a lot.
Its on the rear but from mostly doing some mild single track for one ride.
I mounted one on front, a race trail casing front and back. I figured it was worth a shot on hardpack. I haven’t gone out yet. The Chicago area has been wet and trails have been largely closed.
What would be stupid about it? Based on the solid feedback on them so far, I am planning to run a set f/r on my race bike this summer.
Pretty low tread for a front tire
Maybe it’s different than it looks but it seems like it isn’t far off of the old RK, Aspens, Rick XC, Peyotes, etc. I think that’s generally par for the course on “race” tires.

You should leave them on and see how long it takes to become a 2.4 slick.

That’s exactly what I was afraid of and where I’m planning to ride. I think it will be a good test for the Grip/Trail Dub’s.

Sort of tire related but what type of tubeless repair “system” are people going with xc tires? On the road I’m more likely to hit a nail or glass but off road I’m not sure what people use. Bacon strips, dynaplugs, etc

I have both the blunt and pointed dynaplugs, a boot, and 2 tubes.
Problem is, I suspect there are a lot of little punctures that sealant took care of, but still have little pokey bits on the inside of the tire, so the tube might not be as useful as one would hope.

I generally carry both Dynaplugs and Stan’s DART. I find the DART to be a more durable fix but does seem to have a minimum hole size for it to work. Below that, I’ll use a Dynaplug. For large holes, more than 1 DART.

I’ve found Dynaplugs to be the best. Better than bacon strips and Stans dart. Any puncture I’ve had I’ve been able to seal with Dynaplugs - even holes right by the bead, and big holes needing multiple plugs.
I recommend this one. It fits 3 regular plugs and 1 mega plug. Preloaded, ready to go.

Well I just did my first run with the 2.4 Dub race/grip front, 2.4 Dub trail/speed rear and I am very impressed. I’ve had the Dub trail/speed on for about 3 weeks but the race/grip just arrived so I replaced my 2.4 Rekon Race Maxxspeed and saved approximately 200 grams. I was concerned with the cornering grip but it performed admirably so I am happy…and also set a PR on a 20+ minute local lap.

Ok, will my bike and I self destruct if Im running racing ray 2,25 (red line) in front and racing ralph 2,35 in the rear? 
Feels odd, but the bigger volume probably is better in the back, lower pressure and such. I have vittoria airliner Im planning to use also.

Yes.
My OCD would not be able to take that.
