Cheers

I've got the schwalbe, with a nobby NIC up front.

Seems pretty much as fast as the ground control I had previously but actually grips as well.

I've just put the Bridger 3.0" on the front of my Solaris (Trailblazer 2.8" on the rear) not had a ride out on it yet. Thinking about the RR on the rear but not sure it will fit the Mk1

RR is quite light, no?

I've got a rocket ron evo on the rear, extremely fast and no trouble with anything around the surrey hills so far since the dryness began. Burped it on a corner through yoghurt pots the other day testing what pressure I could get away with. 24 psi seems to be the sweet spot for me at 11.5 stone.

24? Seems quite high?

Good guessing that might not be the plus sized version?

I'm 16st and run mine at 17 psi rear

Went for a ride on a 3" Bridger yesterday and was happy with the rolling speed which was substantially faster than the Nobby Nic it replaced

I did notice it hadn't got the up hill traction of the NN, but a little more careful pedaling and all was good

It seems just right for around here. If it was on the front I'd have it around 20.
