Guest Omega Man Posted September 12, 2013 Share What tyres do you use in Morzine? I currently have a spesh purgatory 2.2 on the front which I enjoy. they have a 26x2.3 now which I would like to try and then move the 2.2 to the back. I believe its a bit slow rolling for a rear tyre but I'm thinking if theres ski lifts should I worry that much about slow rolling...Ja. Slow rolling is literally the last thing to worry about. I run Maxxis Minion 2.5 Front and Rear. Last year I ran a super tacky up front and the hard on the rear. This year super tacky front and rear. So same setup as here. I'll probly do the same next year. If I decide on anything else it will be a Muddy Mary on the front and a Hans Damf on the rear. Having said that it's probly best to go with the gripiest tire that you are familiar with. So for me that's Minion. I run my tires 1 psi harder there just cos I don't like fixing flats.

Guest Omega Man Posted September 13, 2013 Share teaser for today The best part is that is ONE side of Morzine. ONE! There's the Zore side too. I guarantee your first run down the mountain will top anything you've ridden before. They are busy putting up a new high speed gondola for Pleney which is going to make things even better.

Planning on sticking to the Hans Dampf combo Im running now but Ill switch the from for the softest compound available. Otherwise Ill run the tyres that come on the TuEs SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted September 13, 2013 Share Hi maxis Are you planning on ordering the tues se? I am planning on ordering the wicked 650b. Thinking about ordering it before hitting Morzine and having it delivered there. Could work out well. Strongly considering moving somewhere with mountains at some point to the YT will get a good workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father inlaw "to be" works for such an airline (which airline, we wont mention in writing). He always hooks me up when I fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
