  • Fresh Meat : WTB Trail Boss 2.4 and 2.25

    A while back I was contacted by Will at WTB with a simple question: “IF I send you set of 40mm Nano’s, will you try them out and report back?” My simple answer was “HECK YEAH I WILL.” This led to other things headed to 44HQ which include WTB’s Trail Boss Tires. See, when I …

    Every once in a while you get a client after your own heart. This Huntsman Di2 build is right up my alley. Room for 40mm tires, Di2 compatible and with the flat black powder, the gloss sparkle silver decal is a subtle accent to match the stainless head tube badge. A simple, straight forward build. …
