Darkhorse gallop!

one....... million........ psi

 

[Robson]

only a tiny fraction of the course will be deep mud - maybe a few hundred yards worth. The rest may very well be slick but not "deep mud" or anything.

I do hope so🙂

What tire do you guys would be better?

CST Caballero 26x2.1
OR
Specialized Captain 26x2.0
OR
Maxxis High Roller 26x2.35




In the mud I rin around 32psi. But that is very low for tube tires.

 

[VelocityBoy]

The High Roller 2.35.
Because it's wider.

So what pressure will everyone be runnin tmw, cause now I'm just confused

I'm bringing my road bike. I heard that skinny tires at high pressure work great. 🙄

For mud, the key is narrow. Wider tires will jam your stays and forks with mud. Narrow tires can also penetrate through the soft mud on top and reach the harder ground for better traction below. The tread will vary on the conditions. You need deep penetrating lugs (Specialized Extreme Series or Panaracer Fire Mud), or you may want a shallower knob for lower rolling resistance.

Man, and you guys think I mindfvck things.

Man, and you guys think I mindfvck things.

agreed

 

[brybry57]

just to add my two cents; in motocross you run a wider tire with a little less air , softer compound and large space between the long knobs for mud to clear, .... its simple

I'm one of those crazy guys that uses the same tire for everything. You all make me feel outsmarted. Mud is fun. Enjoy it.

I am hand cutting knobs and designing my own tires. They will be fast rolling mud terrains. Only issues is they only hold up at H rated speeds, I need Z rated for the pace I race.

Have fun in the mud🙂

It all depends on when you want your traction.
A fat tire will slip less until you get to actual mud mud where you have like zero traction. Then your fat tire becomes more of a sled. You want a knife to dig down past the mud into the dirt for traction.
you want a lot of pressure on a small area for better traction on slick surfaces. Think about how you walk when you walk on ice. Tippie Toes.

Well either you know now to not do again what you did OR to do what you didn't do!

You missed a fun race. Way muddier than Tymore but wasn't slick, just deep ruts with water up to my axles.

stop speeding!
