Dalbeattie 8th of May

How many punctures then?

Bloody hell, that does look good though.

Nada , which presents the conundrum, should I change or stick :? btw what made you decide on your tyre choice?

 

[kaiser]

Can you post up a route K.In fact it would be a good thing to have a section on ridden routes.

Its hard to post the route, the pdf from the site is much easier .

Kaiser, your fitness is starting to make me sick, 2 laps and the second one even faster :shock:

Dalbeatties to far for me for a day ride and not my old retrobike friendly. Mind you my perception of it is biased by the fact we rode it in the torrential pissing rain and as is well catalogued I crashed badly 3 times :roll:

If there is a next time for me its iDrive time

Blooming smart photies though

Its is a different kettle'o'fish in the dry V. And the full sus should make the obstacles a bit easier but probably slow you down on the fire road sections.

btw what made you decide on your tyre choice?

Racing Ralph / Kenda Karma L3R. Probably not the fastest combo, but I don't just want a pair of tyres purely for racing - Hopefully get plenty of grip from the Kenda, and I went for 2.2s rather than 2.0s, so will do duty as summer trail center tyres.

Cool, not familiar with the Karma's but the RR sounds promising. I may have cured my puncture dilema, conti recommends a inflation pressure of 50psi

none of this gaylord new rubber for me- smoke 1.9 on the front 2.2 on the rear- indeed retro all the way- loads of excuses, might even leave the pannier rack and panniers on for added iron man status :twisted:

Naw at a pinch I'd maybe have done the slab but the qualifier is a bridge too far.

Keep your eye on the midweek moontains thread for when your home or even post up if your heading out sometime
