Hello from Dorset

Post by Flipper »

Hi, Adventure riders. Just joined this select group!
Recently returned from a trip to Mongolia, a report on which I will attempt to put on the site soon.
Meanwhile does anyone Metzeler Karoo T tyres and if so how do they compare with TKC 80's.

Thanks.

Stick to the TKCs especially if you are doing any on road. The "Kangeroos" rattle and bang on tarmac.
Rode through Mongolia last year doing the "Long Way Round" we should meet up and swop notes pics videos tall stories etc etc I'm in Lymington.

The picture involved a TKC puncture repair "somewhere" in Mongolia - picked up a nail on a sandy track - go figure!
