Has anyone experienced damage to their base from riding over rugged terrain? Just how rugged is the i2?
i ride my x2 off curbs regularly and have learned to give a little jump when going up a low curb 4-5 lbsin the fatty tires
be absolutely sure you are square to the edge both wheels at the same time only
