do you think the blutos will be man enough for everything or just an immediate short term solution.
4 psi wow, i havent run them that low yet, didnt they drag on the flat stuff?
i have a moonie with bud and lou and a beargrease with dillingers, i was thinking of leaving the dillinger on the rear and putting a fatter tyre on the front, what do you think?
I think the Blutos should be OK. I’d be intending running them at 80 just to take the sting out of the bigger hits. I think at short travel they should be fine.
I ran Rebas on a 29er at 120mm for long enough and found them fine.
Pressure wise, I genuinely don’t fine fat tyres draggy unless on tarmac, regardless of pressure. I think a lot of it is teh ingrained thing we have from being told for years that skinny tyres at high psi are fastest. Try it, roll down a gradient on dirt of any sort with a mate on a skinny bike. It’s unlikely you’ll be left behind. THe noise also makes it sound like it must drag too. It’s just noise though 🙂
Mind you, I do find that Bud rollls well compared to Nate.
Fatter tyre on the front, definately. Bud is the best for me, it rolls well with it’s long knobbles and the extra size allows loads of speed to be carried on rough ground.
hot flat, Nemesis is constantly changing. I didn’t ride it two years ago as it was so sketchy. The steps were washed out leaving big wheel sucking holes. It seemed easy this time in comparison as the steps were filled with dust.
Arthur Scargill is seperate from the gravity day. It’s a fairly new one, across the river from Orgiva. The climb up the barranco to get to it is a horror though! Still, it’s all down apart from the ups 😉
And what a down, it’s fantastic!
