Anyone riden round recently?
Was thinking of a semi slick like a conti race king 2.0 or a conti X-King 2.2, depends how dry things are?
Cheers
Hardly semi slicks! Break out the Furious Freds!
Mud x for me, I'll just blow em up hard if it's still dry!
Tyres for Thetford - a simple equation
Dry = F - RR R - RR
Damp = F - NB R - RR
Wet = F - DD R - NB
Maxxis Ikons for me for this weekend
Cheers, and how about HT or full sus for the solo 12hr, how rough is it?
Its very bumpy but I think a nice springy steel HT is best. Maybe a short travel 3/4" FS would be good depends if you want to destroy it in the mud. If its wet, it is not fun.
It's very sloppy mud though, you'll never need a proper mud tyre, it's not like Mayhem or anything.
It's not really bumpy per se, it's just full of 'whoops' which can be accentuated by a FS. Backache is the killer in Thetford IMO!
The main problem at the moment is the sand. The ground is so dry the course is crumbling in places.
I hope this is still the case on Saturday night.
Last year was pretty bad mud wise - Mud X front & NN rear did me ok though.....Till I got fed-up with it & decided to get drunk instead...........
Well, looking out of the front door right now, I'm now thinking Nobby Nic on the front might be a good idea.
I hope this weather stops because I think I may now be too old for slogging round in the rain and mud for twelve hours.
tis not looking good out rain rain and more rain tonight but will it dry out before saturday night 😆
IRC Mud Mads worked really well. Shame they don;t make them anymore.
