Well done, that's a massive improvement from your Ten flat.
Thanks Tim,
Last one was 9 flat, but I've been slowly getting it down over the last few weeks - just haven't posted them.
Good job Ian.
Those 36er's are holding you back on the climbs. Give them to me and you will knock 1:30 of for sure!
Why stop at the 36ers, go for the whole bike Giles.
Nice work Ian. Have you tried on the Giant hard tail lately?
Well done Ian.
What rear tyre are you using at the moment to help get up that monster?
@Chuck - the HT doesn't climb very well due to the superlong head tube. Its too hard to keep the front wheel down and still keep traction on the rear.
@Trim - I basically solely use 2.25 Ardents these days front and rear. Run the standard non-UST rear tubeless at around 30-32 PSI, front at 27-29. Can't beat the Ardents for value for money. Not the fastest tyre out there but they get me around OK.
Thanks! I think JP runs 'em as well and is also happy. I've got a tubeless crossmark on the rear at the moment and was at least impressed with how easily it sealed, so I might try a tubeless Ardent
