Never done this one before ... the forecast is crap for the sunday but dry'ish for fri & sat.
Only done Builth Wells marathon before and it was 'battle of the somme'
conditions.
Anyone ridden it before and can give me some advice on tyres?

thanks

Minion F on the front and Hutchinson Cougar on the rear - good for the Dyfi and local trails around Nant-yr-arian so will be fine for the Beast ๐Ÿ™‚

well I don't normally use any hence the request for advice .. I guess I'll try some of those black rubbery ones then at least it won't cost me as much in rims ... do you need one or two?
