And so, dear friends, the end of the week has graced us with its "I'm about to get loaded" promises, but there's just one last pile of information we promised to dole out (like so much yogurt on so many wooden spoons.) THE KNARD (I stole this shot from Maurice at Dirt Rag because he probably won't sue us.) We've told you most of the pertinent details of the new 29x3.0 Surly Knard tire.

Let’s start with those tires that we’ve named the Bud & Lou, which happen to be a front (Bud) and rear (Lou) specific set of fat rubber sexyness. The MSRP for the tires will be $170.00 each. Here’s Bud. Bud likes to be out front, like the Croatian Bear. Bud is a 26” x 4.8” 120tpi tire with a folding bead. Here’s Lou. Lou…
