I called them up and the nice fella reckoned 'we should be able to sort that out' before adding 'I only started Monday mind'.

So anyone done this? WTB i35 rims/Maxxis Rekon's. Obviously I'll need some kind of support vehicle full of spare tyres, but we're off the to lakes the day after and I really want to try the chubby there...

Are you worried you'll, erm, pop a chubby on the way down? ๐Ÿ˜†

Did see someone a few weeks ago wedge a semi fat tyre in, they did have an extra strap around the front wheel.

I'll take a spare strap then. I'm sure they'll be delighted to have someone trying to be special ๐Ÿ˜‰

@orange - every time I ride down the black, I get that feeling!

i struggle to get 2.4 minions in their trailer. But then I have the upper body strength of a girl, so...

enjoy, hope the weather is better than last time I went (the only time I've been wetter was while I was actually swimming)

The uplift drivers are really helpful so I'm sure they will sort you out!

Thanks Flash...

@heb - yeah been a couple of times and they all seem really helpful which considering the endless muppet-roy on show (mostly by me) that's pretty impressive...

@nick - did you go on Aug 20th when we all bailed? hails of trout?

2.8 Rekons on Scrapers fit fine with a bit of a wiggle.

i struggle to get 2.4 minions in their trailer.

You sure you weren't trying to fit them in the CD slot in the van instead of the trailer?

I find that's usually the case with a big one.

All three!

Also, just realised this was for Antur. Sorry! I would imagine that the situation is very similar to BPW though.

How many tyres did you chew through in the end ?
