Great video. Can't wait to see the shock wheel in action.

I’ve had Desser 27.5 tundra tires for 5 years. I just add up the landing and was surprised to come up with 1012. They don’t show much wear looking at the dimples. I run them tubeless at 5 psi but I have let them get down to 3.5 psi. Admittedly 10 percent or less is hard surface. Lots of off airport and hard braking with dual calipers. The tires have moved on the rims a little but I have never broken a bead. I like them.

I’ve been running the 27.5 with Grove G-8 wheels/brakes for a couple years. Love ‘em! I run mine around 6psi.

Are the grove g8 priced competitively? Or can you get cheaper 8 inch rims?

Well timed video. I was just researching this exact setup. Was a little upset that youtube was spying on my search history but realized your video came up because im a subscriber to your chanel.

Important not to use any tire soap or grease on the bead!! Use a bead blaster set at about 50 psi

That looks like a KTM muffler from an 1190 Adventure. I had that bike and saved about 6lbs but swapping it out for a Wings muffler. I think the Acropovic is similar. Just a thought.

Is the Desser 27.5 tubeless, and if not does your weight listed include the tube?

Hey Bryan, covering your gear legs will get you back 5-10 mph. When I went to uncovered legs and TK shocks on my Highlander, I lost over 10 mph In Cruise and top end. Love the shocks though. Won’t ever use bungees again.

Always enjoy your videos! Even though I'm rebuilding and upgrading a totally different type of aircraft, I have learned a few things by watching your videos. I've been inspired by that to film and post videos on my channel. Maybe what I do to my airplane will help others as well. My airplane is a Challenger 2 on amphibious floats, and the videos are being posted on my channel which is under my name. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Why are the Desser's better for on airport landings ?? Hard compound ??

Yes, they are not as soft a rubber as the Bush wheels.
