There used to be but they stopped making them so Afan is being shut down.

I hope the Japanese tyre manufacturers are pleased with themselves now a South Wales economy is losing a valuable income stream.

As above. Unless they are slicks then that would be ridiculous.

If your on a hardtail some tyres with big volume may be nice as it's fairly rocky. Other than that go with tyres thatyou have confidence in

Even when it's pish wet through mud tyres are not needed at all. Just run what you have.

Anything basically. Just use wider ones if you're prone to pinch flats.

so are you gonna buy new tyres for a specific trail centre?

what would you have done before the internet? gone down there with 5 sets and done your own tests?

just ride your ****in bike with whatever tyres are on the bloody wheels.

bit of a silly comment. It's not before the Internet is it? Bikes didn't used to exist - does that mean we shouldn't use them now because people coped without before?
