FMB Love
These tires changed the whole cross game for me. Not these actual tires but FMBs straight from M
olly C out in Portland Oregon. When I finally realized that clinchers were not the answer, Molly laid it all out for me. Built me a sweet pair of wheels, glued some 34 sscs on and shipped them to me with some bon bons (no lie and it was Belgian chocolate at that!) I raced them the day after I received them at Sucker Brook. No test lap, no getting used to it Just racers ready....GO! Top ten was the tale of the tape that day. Not that placing means anything but those tires transformed how I could corner and the sandpit ohhh how they railed through the sand it was incredible!
There are a handful of people who have helped shape my passion for cross. Molly is at the top of that list. She was and remains my go to for all my cross questions. The best thing about Molly other than she is just one of the coolest PROs on the planet is she'll tell it to you straight no bs. She's done and seen it all from the Pac Nwest to Europe. I have yet to find a question she doesn't have an answer for. These tires were the Gateway drug to my now ridiculous tubular addiction.
