Never ridden in the Heyfield area before so aint got a clue if the place will be muddy or not
Yes there is mud and rocks and hills and everything.
Its magic mud tho so you'll be fine with the two Kenda Small Block 8's I'm selling......Kevlar, ridden 3 times and so grippy you'll never fall off. Even in the berms.
I ride there pretty much exclusively. Currently using DTC 2.35 nevegals, bonty jones are good, spesh exkars, big earls, high rollers, basically softer compound and nobbles work well!
Nevegals here too.
Anything really,I pprefer something with a bit of volume.Rode two days in the lakes last week with a Nevegal on the front and an Advantage on the back. No punctures and plenty of grip.
i ride 1.95 trailrakers, perfect in the slosh. rocky descents are a bit iffy though. have used fire xc and minions in the past with no problems in the peaks
The area is grit stone base so while there are muddy tracks across fields the majority of the trails will have a sandy gritty base along with rocks. Aim for a tyre designed for hardpack or loose over hardpack. I can only suggest maxxis as that's all I ever ride - minnions or high rollers would be fine.
The key feature to be aware of though is that it's rocky. If your heavy, ride dh fast or worse still both then you will need a larger heavier tyre to prevent pinch flats. Personally icant get away with anything less than a dual ply dh tyre but you may have more finesse.
did a big loop from mam tor today. wet, muddy, gritty, muddy. A bit of everthing. The 2.25 maxxis ardents were great.
