    Slippery, loamy, steep bastarding Scottish mud. What do you put on the back?

    DHR2. It’s not spectacularily grippy but it’s good, and it slides well when it lets go. (Butcher Control, to do the same job on the 26er but I don’t like the big version so much)

    Hmmm..got a part worn Butcher Grid on the front just now, perhaps I should just put that on the back when the time comes then.

    Minion DHR2.

    IME vigilantes are not the best in the mud. Couple of hans dampf are good though.

    Beaver or dhr2 depending where on the xc/dh and gloop/mud scales you are aiming for.

    Not too bad, down to bedrock: DHR2
    Absolutely grim, muddy: Shorty

    At the moment is High Roller 2 and Ardent conditions 🙂

    Yep, I love HD’s on dry hard packed trails but they are pretty useless in mud.

    Has anyone tried the Michelin Wild Mud and Wild Grip’R tyres?

    When it’s proper bad, I use the above Michelin combo. Wild Mud’R up front (Magi-X compound) and Wild Grip’R out back in Gum-X.

    Draggy on the ups but incredible on the downs, with a really insane amount of grip.

    Thanks Andy. I’ve got a mate with a Michelin account so they might be worth a look.

    For mud I find the WTB warden hard to beat. Probably would stick that on the front though, so would put the shorty on the back. I also find the DHR2 is good on the back, although not when it’s extremely muddy
