Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run

Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
I haven't been to the plain for a couple months. So can't comment on how wet and muddy it is, but judging what it's like here, dry and with the cold fairly hard. But warming on Sunday could defrost the top layer making it fairly slippery
That rear mefo will be okay but I cannot vouch how your front will behave

Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
excuse my rudeness in interrupting ..
but I would have thought a mefo (explorer?) or e07 type tyre would be .. unfortunate? in that mud (been there)
better more nobbly rear .. e09, t63, anakee wild type?
and front .. xt644, mt21 type
or ITs?
remember heartbreak ridge !
o .. and a worn down tyre is just asking for it ? ?
there will be NO grip .. then add mud!

Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
Well I wasn’t sure how wet it is on plain , it’s been quite dry up in Surrey so not to much to worry me , I’ll take any leads from Bods who’ve been out recently . My new rear is an e09

Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
I'd wouldn't worry too much about riding with that on the back, mine are probably worse.
Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
Yep, you'll be right man. Mine tyres are pretty well worn. No race.
I've got on OK with the Mefo before but they're not much good for gaining traction on slippery hills.... and it's a plain Changed it out half worn for some proper knobblies, but that's due the the type of riding I like to do.
Cheers, ACP

Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
If you get a chance whack that eo9 on if not dont worry too much
I put a fresh one the other day just take it easy on road for the few miles you will be surprised how good it is after it has warmed up and you have it scrubbed in a bit.
See you Sunday
Re: Salisbury Plain Pre xmas run
Well mine will have 4K miles on the rear so I’ll just have to drop a few extra psi.garyboy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2017 7:21 pm excuse my rudeness in interrupting ..
