D Vader Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Im also considering running Ikons front & back for better rolling or leaving ardent front & Ikon back combo for extra grip. 1st time so I suppose Im over assessing everything. Feeling undertrained ......Im also considering running Ikons front & back for better rolling or leaving ardent front & Ikon back combo for extra grip. 1st time so I suppose Im over assessing everything. Feeling undertrained ...... Ikon rear is good, but I think there are much better front tyres than Ardent ( its heavy without the performance benefit, rather do Rocket Ron 2.25 snakeskin, light, grippy and pretty tough) RossW 1
jcza Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Going with Racing Ralph SnakeSkin again, rode it last year and used it at every other race this year.
Thug Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Irrespective of which bike I'll finally ride Attakwas on, I'll be using the same rims with a WTB Weirwolf on the front and a Racing Ralph on the rear.

burty Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Some good deals on Schwalbe at the moment maybe a xmas prezzie from me to me for race Rocket Ron front/Racing Ralph back could work. The wife will have to get a IOU this year

leona Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 it would be my pleasure. i wonder if i could get a working visa on 'exception skills' on that basis?
Swart Kat Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Yes, they will do I did the Atta with Maxxis Ardent at back and Ikon front! This year Ikon both sides! Hallo SH
cathmtb Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I have two spots in a shuttle van that can meet you at the finish and take you and your bike back to Outshoorn (start) if anyone is interested. I paid R300 for 1 spot.
jugheaddave Posted January 2, 2014 Author Posted January 2, 2014 Getting excited and nervous!! titus1 1

burty Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Bought new RR Snakeskins for this race normally ride with Ikons but they less than 50% tread & been told that tyres are important & should rather invest in new, especially for this race. Im 70kgs and not sure of pressure I must run these new bad boys. Normally run 2 bar with Ikons Any advise
