Only a week to go and so far so good.

What tyre choice are folks going with?

Furious Freds.

I have faith.

Bud and lou

I’m heading up to the course in a minute, I’ll have a feel! If it stays as it is (its very dry here) so any race/summer tyre will be fine. Forcaste is some rain this week, in which case, could move into ralph territory. If it gets biblical this week pack those mudx….

I’ve just put a racing ralph on the back, so that’s ruined any chance of sunshine

I dont care what the weather forcast says, I wont be leaving the MudX’s at home.

Mud Xs will be fine, as long as we don’t need the 1.5″ Black Sharks!

BBC Countryfile forecast for the week ahead looks pretty promising.

Fingers crossed **

For God’s sake people, please take your mud tyres!

Leaving them at home is bound to jinx it…

I have no mud tyres 🙁

I’ll take a spare set on your behalf monkeychild!

Ground control / fast trak

Purg / Storm

Mud X’s

In that order

Taking a selection of Nobby Nics, rapid robs, various bonty’s

Then if it gets mucky some grippy Salomon trail running shoes and flat pedals.

Nobby Nics… That was my mistake last year. Well i only had 2.25 NN’s on a full susser with zero clearance meant I was pushing nearly all the way around when others were still riding.

This year got 1.8 mud x’s!

Ralphs front/back & a spare front wheel with a Nic on it…….
Then if(if lol) it pi$$es down, the h/tail with Mud X’s will come out…..

2.4 x-kings and 1.5 black sharks for when the storm hits.

Adverse Weather Conditions…

I’ll be taking the CX tyres. Also race kings and Bonty Mud X just for laughs.
