    Day 1

    Two years on and only the frame is left

    Almost bang on the op’s spec
    Looking to replace it soon but not confident a £1000/£1500 frame would be that much better.

    Totally agree with stevede
    I’m fairly new to tubeless this is my third tyre and I recon its quicker and easier than fitting a tube and I’ve been doing that for 30+ years.
    Right tyres+Right rims=No flaffing

    Well there is only one thing for it!
    Bar mounted Tazer, pepper spray and an Axe in your Camelbak.
    That’s 3 things 🙂

    In general they are awesome tyres if you only ride on dirt.
    But if you ride Tarmac to or from a trail then they will wear out
    Great offroad, too soft for the road, Expensive

    Quantocks(natural)and South Wales trail centres mostly with the odd uplift.

    I’ve gone back to 2.25 ardent rear and 2.5 sp Minion front.
    Will be running 2.3 Purg/butcher controls when they come into the country.

    If you climb on Tarmac it sounds like the tread is ripping off.
    GREAT TYRE but Not a great all rounder IMO

    Forks are mainly used for trail centres and the Quantocks with the odd uplift at FOD.
    Ive rode the firm spring scince ive owned them but changed back to medium tonight.
    Its a super simple job so might just use the firm for uplift days.

    Great video 🙂 just out of interest which side of the road is bincombe and how do you get back onto the hills?
    Turn right then right again into great wood?
    Amazed how I rode there for years and never found this beaut.
    It’s an amazing place to ride.

    Thanks jameso you just saved me from probably a lot of faff.
    I’ll run tubes till next month.
    One more question
    With 2bliss, UST tires do you need to use the gunk ?
    Or is it for puncture prevention.

    sonofapitch

    So I got my wheels – only one valve (if anyones got a spare:))
    Is it worth doing on Flows with Non UST tyres?
    Do they roll off while railing a corner
    Do I put the gunk in RQBC non UST tires or wait till next month for the Butcher controls 2bliss to come out.

    Thanks guys some good points to take note.
    Like the idea of being able to run slightly lower pressures to add grip.
    So I just brought some Flows:) and will be using them with 2.2 RQBC.
    Hopefully this will be hassle free.
    Is this right for my first attempt
    Seat the tyre pour in 2oz of stans sealant (1 in each wheel)then pump it up till it pops?

    I never feel total satisfied at CwmCarn I think it lacks a middle section, feels straight up straight down.
    IMO the second climb in the section after the pay booth is the hardest.
    Also there is a bit after the picnic benches just before the final fire road climb (not the exit)
    Happy to make it without dabbing. 🙂

    Proutster^you must have some super long thumbs to reach that.
    Protected from what?
    Just have it on top.
    Mine rests on the shifter so I can have it a little loose.
    When turning bike upside down rotate lever parallel with ground.
    Simple.
