DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Yet another tyre discussion. ...or is it?

Hi all

Before the abuse starts, I'm not planning to ask anybody's opinion on winter tyres (again).

I quite like the look of the Conti Mud King tyres for my new 29er, after having enjoyed the Race Kings on my oldfashioned-wheel-size-bike during summer. But it seems they're out of stock everywhere. Does anybody know of a place where I can get some?

Get some tyres, that is.

Cheers!
Riaan

Hi Riaan,
I always buy my mud x tyres from JE james for £27.00 inc. postage
