......or maybe because of it, last night was wicked fun.

Cheers guys!

Mud?? You had mud last night? I thought it was a bad memory.

I may have to change my tyres. I'd be grateful for any advice on mud-tyre choice the group may give

PT

Tom, I think frazer is confused it was floods last night,after all he has'nt seen real mud yet has he?......

..says the guy that ducked out into the pub before the mud properly started!

Off on one, may I clearly add frazer that the ride was to the three tuns abington and thats were my motor was dumped. The coven's policy is that no one gets left behind! even billy no mates Shelton {maybe}.. Still feeling guilty James?...P.s I went home oh and in dry clothes, did you all get a tad wet? hummm.

You're right, I henceforth retract my insinuation of slackerishness!

:o)

See ya next time mate.

Mud tyres,
if you like to ride fast - Maxxis Medusa (2.1 for comfort or 1.8 for less resistance)
if you want to be sure and steddy Panaracer Fire Mud Pro 1.8
If you want to climb trees in the mud, Panaracer Trailraker. these will seem slow and hard work but they stick.

i use the Medusa when it gets realy bad, Katie uses the Trailraker, Pasty Tom uses the Fire Mud Pro......at last check, but tastes change.

i started with Fire Mud pros in my first winter with these guys and have used the Medusas since, i used the trailrakers when it dried out to slow me down for resistance training before the racing season started.

i sometime use Schwalbe Rocket Ron as a cross over tryre in mildly swamp like conditions as they roll well on the dry stuff and grip reasonably in the Mud but as Claire pointed out to me in the past they are NOT a mud tyre. when the mud is sticky they will not shed. Medusa's do and so do the Mud Pro's, not sure about the trailrakers.

hope this helps a bit.
