What tyres have you got on at the moment Greg Question

I'm a big fan of my Cinder's regardless of the trail condition, wet or dry, they do a really fantastic job........

And to be quite honest I find the conditions change that frequently, and there's always places that need "mud" tyres, i.e. the Westworth end of Guissy Woods etc.,

I was toying with the idea of doing the same Greg....was on a ride last night around Wynyard and Thorpe Thewles and was thinking of putting my "summer" tyres on....a pair of Hutchison Bulldogs, anyway we got about 6 miles into the ride and I'm glad I chose to keep the Conti verticals on as it was boggy and the going was pretty rough.

So to answer your question.....although it's getting warmer there are still some boggy bits about!!! Stick with the "mud pluggers" for the mo I'd say!!

Racing Ralph rear/ Nobby Nic front

Fast rolling and surprisingly grippy on the rear, front washes out a bit too easily in the wet, might try something else up there.
