Will try to make this, really enjoyed the last visit, work is mental at the minute though an is likely to be this month but should be do-able as it's a Saturday.

This is the first ride I've ever bought a set of tyres for because I've been advised of a need. Tyres soft and suitable for loose terrain and roots, that rules out everything I have and so the first set of new tyres I've bought in ages are Onza Porc 2's in 26 x 2.1" flavour.
Supposedly they have a soft compound and are not hardpack friendly but are very grippy on rock and root, sounds like I should have had them at Dalbeaty :roll:
Also apparently they are hard to come by so a pair including postage at £23 brand new and Kevlar beaded folding makes me happy
Next problem is selecting the steed with clearance for 2.1" tyres, not easy with bikes as old as mine :roll:
Also Si says very good brakes required, canti's need not apply then, the search goes on
