All the mud's disappearing in the Surrey alps so I took the plunge and swapped my Hansdampfs for an Ardent (front) Larsen (rear) combo. I reckon I feel 10% faster! Let's hope it stays nice and dusty 🙂

Now that you've cursed i. - was out last night, and was literally stood staring in disbelief at one trail - I built the trail myself, and it was always a sloppy greasy root strewn mess. And lest night, it was baked solid, and looked like something you'd see in France or Italy - hard baked clay. Tear in my eye.

PFFT,Since November here -29" though, so a fair bit more grip than the smaller version..........

To be fair I barely rode up there over winter, and when I did it was still on Ralphs, far more versatile than people seem to think!

But yes... it will now rain I'm sure!

You barsteward. You've just ruined it for the rest of us. If you'd just MTFU'd and stuck with the Hans Dampfs everything woils have stayed dry.

Sorry guys, Dampfs back on tonight! I'll wear my sealskin socks to work tomorrow.

Spellchecker didn't like tyres, it tricked me!
