I haven’t really ridden in years and I’ve got the classic kenda blue groove with nevegal combo that I fitted when I built my intense 5.5 many years ago now.

I’m so out of touch, anyone recommend some tyres I can replace them with please? I run them tubeless, I ride cleated in xc and like peddling up hills so nothing draggy, terrain is mainly granite moorland.

Schwalbe Magic Mary front and Hans Dampf rear is a good combo. Both available in 26 from Merlin. If you haven’t bought tyres for 14 years you’re in for a shock with the prices..

The Nobby Nics on my son's bike do the trick and weren't too expensive.

I’m still in shock after opening the crc Black Friday email last week, first time in 2 years I had looked at prices, and saw the same speed/spec road cassettes I last paid 30quid for now close to 70. I fell off my chair!
