Tires
The reviewer discusses the KENDA Original SMALL BLOCK EIGHT Foldable Tire as part of budget upgrades for Jimmy's gravel bike.

Review: 8/10
Details: Very happy with this item. Would give it a 10/10 but I don't have a real Paul Comp seat post to compare it to, so I have to assume it could have small differences. Installation was easy (no different than any other seat post) and does what it's expected to do.

Details: I haven't installed it yet, but I've owned genuine Thomson seat posts in the past and this one looks identical to them. It didn't come with a Thomson bag, which is why I've knocked some points off. Otherwise, though, this looks to be a solid replica with no issues.
