I just brought home my new Superfly

I'm going to ride it for a few weeks first, but I'd like to get it set up as a "racing bike" and am going to go tubeless. I'm also looking at putting on some more aggressive tires.

The trails I ride have a lot of sand and tree roots. It's pretty rare I get to ride on hard-packed trails.

I'm looking at possibly doing Kenda Nevegal DTC 29x2.2 in the front and Kenda Slant Six 2.0 in the back.

The Nevegal is really sticky and grippy. The Slant Six has lower-profile knobs for faster rolling.

My goal is to be able to float over the sand and grip through the turns! This bike will be used 99% of the time on the trail. My other xc bike (Trek 800) I'm setting up to be used on trail, dirt roads, and bike paths.

Just an FYI: My bike with saddle and pedals is 27# (I have yet to take off the reflectors). By going tubeless and putting a new saddle on it I should be able to get it down to almost 26#.
