I prefer to think of it as a squeal...

I went out with Nic today (on the eFattie :-P). Grim doesn't even touch the sides of how bad it was out there today. Lots of two wheel slides and sideways motion...

You know nothing of mud, Cathrob. Come for a local ride up here ;-)

No riding at all this weekend due to the FiL's 70th birthday party. I'm shattered. Los of 70/80 year olds at top speed and only one of them with the decency to go for an afternoon nap.

just did a quick spin up the towpath this afternoon, once parents had left, got soaked and filthy and it was great ;)

Soggy, rainy, muddy FtD tonight with a few efforts :-). 'Twas good, aside from having to wash everything when I got back again....

Fixed ANOTHER puncture this morning, before brekkie. Am converting to tubeless next week... From what I've read there's a 50/50 split on whether it's worth it or not, but I'm putting patches on my patches at the moment so anything's worth a go! Any thoughts?

Changing a fat tyre is infinitely less than the equivalent operation on a road bike or, especially, a Brompton, so you ain't going to get much sympathy from this mud-curious roadie ;)

I changed the tyres on my roadie after a weekend where I got 3 punctures, one which lead to a DNF in a triathlon and haven't had a puncture *touches wood since. My MTB though... different story... It's like the thorns come-a-lookin' for me!

Tubeless on the mtb

About This Thread

Maintained by cathrobinson
Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
