Stile Cop - Minion vs Swamp Thing
Morning all
Mr Stinks is getting his first outing tomorrow at Stile Cop. Whilst ive ridden Cannock many times, this is my first time at Stile Cop. The bike comes fitted with Minion 2.5 ST front and back, which i know will be a good combo from using them on the Spesh, but the seller also threw in a pair of Swamp Thing 2.5 ST as well....
Which would be better do we think ? having watched vids of Stile Cop on YouTube, im leaning more towards the Swamp Things, but wanted some opinions of those that are familiar with that track
Cheers

Where the Minion is not that great in the mud tends to pack out with mud fairly fast so its definately a conditions choice. i'd be tempted witht he wet weather to pop the swampy up front at least as the back breaking away isn't much of an issue.
I run nevegals or butchers at cop, and the guys I go with usually run minions or high rollers.
Why not take the swampys with you, and if your not liking the minions, swap em over whilst there?
precious bike time fiddling with tyres tho....

Last time there (2 weeks ago) was running a Butcher (very similar to Minions) front and some wierd Kenda Excavator on the rear and no problems at all. Minions will be fine.

Lots to aspire to at Cop. Had no idea there was so much there. Some of the jumps are massive.

Nice runs aren't they! Yeah, there's some stupid stuff too, did you see walleater? If not, don't bother with you tube, you need to walk it to see for real..
Should be there on sat with the new bike
A 3C DHF on the front and a 60a DHF folder on the back works most of the time for me. When it gets wetter the Bettys/Marys go on - a Vertstar front is pure fit-and-forget but draggy as hell in the dry compared to the Minions.
Mid-week is a good time to go I like it a lot
