"Each bike was equipped with a unique modification: the wheels had two valves—one for the tubeless setup and the other for a flat inner tube as a backup."
"This creative design showcases the ingenuity of athletes like Keegan Swenson and Tobin Ortenblad, who drilled their wheels themselves for added security during extreme races."
