Stocking Stuffer: Specialized Hillbilly DH Tires 121

We picked a winner of the comment contest!

Sam Hill knows traction and he helped Specialized develop the Hillbilly downhill tire to maximize grip. What could be considered a low-profile spike, the moto-inspired Hillbilly features aggressive knobs with spacing to shed debris easily. Perfect for loam, moderately wet conditions and even the dry duff, the Hillbilly features a dual compound rubber with grippy 42a durometer on the rolling surface. A wire bead and dual ply means the tire will be secure and resistant to pinch flats. If you don't win the comment contest, get your mits on some new meats at www.specialized.com

I grabbed a couple spare tires from Santas belly. Figured you would make better use of them. Besides those 60a Pinnit's you've been running are almost retro.

in an effort to go corporate and micro manage in 2011 its nice to see Santa recycling lazy elves as bike parts. look for Mrs. Clause hooking next year. every dollar counts people when your trying to run a buisness..

The following takes place between 2PM and 3PM...

"Hi boys and girls! Do you like biking?"
"YEAH!"
"Do you want to win these cool tires?"
"YEAH!"
"All you have to do is reach into the box and guess what's inside. Are you ready!?"
"YEAH!!!"
"O.K. boys and girls, gather around the fire and reach on in till you win!"

I hope you all enjoyed a preview from the new episode of Law and Order: SEVU (Special Elf Victims Unit)

You might be a Hill Billy if you have a tire fire in your living room for Christmas because you are saving that pricey yule log for the New Year's Bonfire on the MaGulligutty's new property.

I like 'em, but my Demo corners like a dream despite its worn out, beat up, knobbies torn off, thread showing, season old minions... those should go to someone who really needs them. Merry Christmas.

We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide it
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!

Get the Hillbillies away from the fire or else you'll end up with a couple rednecks!
