I love this tire. It replaces my rear Kiniption that are half as thick in the tread area. It has exceptional smoothness and grip on the road - surpassing the Kiniptions that were my first 'street' MTB tire other than a stray cruiser tire that lasted forever. Tread thickness counts for durability. My rear Kiniption had a spoke head buried in it sideways -- and while the plies on that tire are incredibly tough to tear - the tire was already worn out after about 1200 miles. I expect the K838's to last twice as long, and save me lots of effort in terms of rolling resistance.
I sort of conclude today that unless you are riding street / park stunts - you really don't need Kiniptions. The K-838's look a bit odd in the pictures - but they look even better on the bike than the Kiniptions. They are blackwall, and being 1.95's instead of 2.25's -- they look like they fit the bike. I can vouch for the issues I had with centering the tire using a 2.25 and a 8-speed hub on this bike - you have a quarter thickness of clearance and the centerline is way off, making hands-off riding an all-guts-no-glory event!

Don't let the small size box fool you..
It has 2 360 degree turning joings, one at the base and one at the intersection of the two arms. Between the two you can park it in minimal space, or extend quite a reach. The picture shows the half-reach range.
Easy to set up, nicely made, brand that at least looks like it's 1993 and American - the thing works really well with my Vizeo 24" monitor - didn't have to change a thing. The thru-the-hole mount system is very sturdy when tied to something like a side or end-table or cabinet (about 24" height) for use by the granny's recliner or bedside.
Best value - real vacuum with bag, hose and attachments - but frustrating to use.
So I didn't expect that it would fall over to use the hose - it's stretchy but is mounted way too high. Tips right over unless you wedge it between your legs - no kidding. So I still gave it 4 stars for value and it does get the job done. Likewise the height adjustment is manual and the effect is very sensitive when you change from hard surface to low pile in my office. You have to stop and tweak and it's not very intuitive.
That's about it. I had to mount a hook through the handle to get it to hang from a beam.
