sounds like a good choice, they are supposed to come up quite large, larger than some of maxxis older models 2.35what are brakes for again0
-
well it's the first set of tyre's i've brought from a different manufacture as i've only got the one's that came with the bike and a set of muddy x's for real muddy times0
-
just hope you dont get the bug for trying tyres
i might end up going to tyreaholics anonymous
what are brakes for again0 -
no worry's in that department as if i like these i keep them untill they need replacing.
That drop looks a lot better now i think less chance of it cutting up, i might have the balls to go down it next time

Caz xx0 -
im thinking of doing that enduro as wellwhat are brakes for again0
-
the chain reactions one?...which one I'm doing Grassington and saving up to do Ruthin
Caz xx0 -
@ caz i've been twice and but only done the blue route, there is a bit of climbing on that but nothing too hard but the descents make up for it. I think the next time i have wed/thurs off work might go up for a few day's and have a go at the southern red route
check out a few vids of it on my youtube channel0 -
im thinking of the Ruthin onewhat are brakes for again0

How many others are thinking of going to Grassington?
Might be an idea for an impromptu 'Slow Ride' get together, mind you don't know how we would find each other amongst the hordes!
Need to get that logo sorted (Rich any luck with that?) and we can print some flags0 -
I'm going to grassington....25km though :oops:
Caz xx0 -
i'm thinking of the 50k but it doesn't matter as i'm sure the routes all follow the same directions with turn offs for the shorter options.0
-
I'm busy on the weekend of the Grassington event, although I have a mate who is riding the 50k route (I think).
I'll see if my graphic designer has had chance to look at those logos Mike, and I think I have a plain white shirt that I can stick them on although I'm not sure if the transfers will only go onto a cotton shirt because of the high temperature the iron has to be for it to work, and cotton shirts are crap for riding in 1998 Marin Hawk Hill

@ Cheshley this might be a bit over the top but if this group takes off then might it be worth while getting some proper mtb clothing made for the the group if we can come up with a design. Just that i picked up a Endura catalogue and on the back cover was there advert for Custom Printed Clothing
Here's there link to the website page for Custom Printed Clothing
