I just got an Observer watch with one of these bands, which looks really nice.
However, in order to size the band, you have to cut links out and replace the closure. This means the band is NOT adjustable.
SO, if you (like me) want to go diving and put this on over you wetsuit, you cannot.
If you are going skiing or trekking in the backcountry and you want to put this over a layer or two of clothes, so you can see it without having to pull up your jacket and take of your gloves, you cannot.
That makes this band ideal for wearing around the office but def. not useful in the backcountry or anywhere else...

I mounted a pair of these tubeless on a UST Shimano rim with Stans. They were quite easy to get on and, as mentioned before, was quite simple with a compressor to kick the beads out (not with 3 different floor pumps...).
However, these have been tough to hold air. After setting them up and riding about 40 miles (with lots of pumping, rotating, shaking, spinning etc.) i added another dose of Stans. I sprayed them down with water a few times and you can see hundreds of pinholes in the sidewall foaming out Stans / water. It Does appear to be working but i now have about 100 miles and they still have a hard time holding air for an entire ride. Just beware. They are not UST so i don't think there is any recourse for returning the tires due to this issue. Other people have had good luck, so possibly the QC of these tires off the assembly line.
While riding, these have been pretty good, not the most aggressive tire but have been okay in sand to light mud. I have ridden more convincing tires but if these hold steady pressure for an entire ride i could give a more honest rolling impression.

Not much to say on these. Industry standard. If you need a pair of bindings these are pretty bomber. I Recommend the Race cartridge if you aim for a stiffer, more responsive set-up. As with everything, sometimes they break but its fairly rare. If you crest the 200lb mark you are on your own. The tour throw seems to be a good thing with no real downside.
