DH starts on the flat section before The Ginnel and ends after the jump line.

“Have we had a ‘what tyres are best?’ thread yet”
…….and bike, tent, lock, helmet, beer, fridge………

Thanks D-B-W, it might be where the black reconnects to the red, sort of makes sense.

tubeless yes
sealant no – it only makes it messy when I manage to pinch the tyre and have to put a tube in

I’m going for the “my back wheel needs a rebuild soon anyway so if I flat on the DH I’ll just keep pedalling” option!

Personally, I’d go tubeless with sealant

cool, all very formula 1

The chosen Trials obstacles will be decided/revealed on Friday July 3rd afternoon/evening

The “same tyres” rule will apply.

Your bike will inspected at the start of Saturday and then as you cross the XC finish line on Sunday.

Looking good, aslong as I don’t flat on the corkscrew top of the DH, that’d be worth a 5min+ penalty I bet.

Have you decided if (and how) you are going to enforce same tyres rule?

(i doubt I’d bother changing even if it was allowed but it would be annoying if someone had 2.7″ dual plys on DH day and 1.5″ flyweights on XC)
