Just looking for tips on the course and event.
Looking to do the 75km and drop back to 50km if it owns me.
I've got a tubeless kit, never used them before but do you reckon it would be worthwhile changing them over before the ride?
Also, I've got 2 set's of tyres - Nobby Nics and Bontrager Mud X's, which would be better for the course?

    I did the full distance last year.......with Nobby Nics (non tubeless) with no problems (well,plenty actually but not with the tyres!)...plus it had been wet beforehand,so Id say theyll be fine.There will defo be a few "interesting" moments along the way with mud,but its not worth putting mud tyres.Tubeless is the way to go IMHO,but not the day before!!......you really dont want to be doing that this close to the event......I think thats just asking for trouble....stick with the tubes for now.......Stop thinking about "downgrading" to the 50k..the 75 will be. no bother.Good luck

    Ah thanks for the tips mate, you confirmed my thoughts about not changing the day before, and will give the Nics a go.
    I just got to get rid of this crick in my neck I woke up with now! :-)
