I think you're taking this a little too seriously.
absolutely.
Andyhilton - you are wrong.
The new low you speak of would be a thread entitled "What tyre pressure for Glentress?", after experiencing a rider there adjusting their tyres after each section depending on whether they would be climbing or descending.
I agree though, one set of tyres for anything.
bar mounted automatic tyre pressure adjustment levers.... hmmm? (scratches chin)
I am in the one tyre for all camp, found me some WTB raijin race tyres, they were cheap and light so i thought why not! They have been absolutely brilliant in all conditions so they stay on all the time.
Llandegla for me is excellent, not too challenging, i am not a big jumper anyway and enjoy my riding even when i am not being super rad!
It is only 40 minutes away so i can bomb up there early morning, hack around the black a couple of times and be back for lunch. I like it because it is fast and flowing, like i said, i am poor at jumping but can bomb around the black and not bottle out of any bits so it suits me fine so will suit others.
It really is just a matter of taste and what you prefer.
Slimjim get that automatic tyre pressure adjustment lever,idea patented quick-smart.
Some mountain bikers just love faffing,uppy downy seats,changing tyres for every occasion and swapping pedals.....and if it makes 'em happy ,good for them.
As for Llandegla,it's good fun and the cafe is top notch. Wouldn't bother me if I didn't ride it again tho..
I object to the fact that I am getting the blame for taking too long in cutting your hair that you couldn't change your Tyres!
And I have also witnessed a lad at Kirroughtree on a SC Bullet who kept changing his tyre pressures for each section...
Maxxis Advantage 2.1 there fast rolling?
Hi fellas, other than the Longmynd where are the other good trails in shropshire? New here so maybe will post as a new "thing"!
That would be "They're fast rolling."

I don't blame you at all...I rather enjoyed the bike banter. In my rush to get out the door though I left the High Roller in the kitchen so couldn't swap it over
its a great little trial centre - easy to get to, well looked after and good fun to ride. Nothing really challenging but great fun all the same. I like it. (only been a couple of times though)
I like riding at Llandegla and I dont mind admitting it 🙂
I dont see any issue with asking about tyre choice, I feel a big difference between hard pack tyres and mud tyres, and a bit of advice on the terrain to make an informed decision beforehand seems sensible to me.how the **** that is incredibly anal and pointless is beyond me?... making the negative comment is more anal.
Sorry, I just think people who obsess over tyre choices are part of a negative culture that clashes with mine. 😉
