Re:

You need a fat bike if the muds the right type for a fat bike. Try cornering a fat bike on the wrong type and you'll wish you'd stuck with narrow mud tyres :lol:

One of those 3" wide tyred thingies like a Krampus or that Marin Jamie thinks looks like poo is a good compromise for Scottish conditions.

Also adult stabilisers really do exist but I dont think they exist in Titanium. Anyway a ride with OCP that didn't involve him 'Strategically Dismounting' would be somehow wrong :wink:
 
And nicely on the subject of tyres, ive a new quest :D

Just picked up brand new in its box, a Schwalbe marathon mondial evo dd folding 26x2.15.....For a fiver :D

On a quest to find the 2nd one for as little as humanly possible :D
 
This is a "on sunday i did"

went for 2 hrs up the Inners XC, rode down into the car park which after the biblical rain had a big puddle at the end where the DH races finish....

Doesnt look too deep thinks I, so ploughs in, within 4-5 pedals it was over my feet, half way up my legs then almost to the tops of my thighs, powered out but was soaked and had to watch the back end drain via the chainstay holes

Lesson learned but I did the same on the way out - The GT has never looked cleaner after a wet ride!
