Bums Posted April 5, 2011 Share It has been raining all week and will most likely be muddy and slippery so go with a wet tyre wiht lots of tread. It is going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adogshow Posted April 6, 2011 Share kenda nevagals mate. drop the nick if possible as they aren't strong enough for a lot of the riding around KZN (that's a long term suggestion, not necessarily for this weekend). but enjoy it bru!! its an awesome ride and the Gauntlet is brilliant!

Edgar Posted April 6, 2011 Share Rubber ones for a mountain bike are best in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted April 6, 2011 Share Is it raining in the Karkloof right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Is it raining in the Karkloof right now?  I will have an answer later for you, one of my riding mates is calling the trail builder up there. Did you get the email about the cut off for entries being tomorrow the 7 April from Mr Price?

Monark Posted April 6, 2011 Share Yup, I entered about 2 months ago... Â If it is raining on Friday I wont ride it, that single track is technical enough in the dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted April 6, 2011 Share Yup, I entered about 2 months ago...  If it is raining on Friday I wont ride it, that single track is technical enough in the dry. For sure, the strange thing is that they said entries closed on Sunday, weird.

Li Mu Bai Posted April 6, 2011 Share mountain king front and back works really well in the sticky, slick KZN mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie Posted April 6, 2011 Share Looks like it's gonna be wet. If it rains alot you will need Motor cross tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted April 6, 2011 Share i got my mud tyres - but it still raining in pmb. I have ridden there in the pouring rain before and its not clayey mud but will still be challenging with lots of riders. hopefully it will start to dry up a bit.....but its doesnt look like that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bums Posted April 7, 2011 Share I ride Maxxis ardents. they are a mud - trail tyre with loads of grip and handle the wet conditions brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
