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)

Going with Racing Ralph SnakeSkin again, rode it last year and used it at every other race this year.

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.

The Purgatory for the front is a win/win.

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

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.

I don't know if I'd ride Attakwas on my CX bike.

 

Let's see how it goes this year.

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
