reteid Posted March 22, 2022 Share I would rather be old school with maxiss crossmarks and half a liter of sealant than getting stuck with tyre issues. I am not a pro at all but know my limitations. love2fly, mikkelz, Pieterlab1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping this is not the choice for the Epic, because that would have issues. Its worse, tehy use the lighter version called the ASpen SR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone turned up to that race knowing theres a good chance of DNF but went into it to race. We're talking about wealthy okes who don't prepare adequately, then suffer and want to demand changes to the event to suit their lack of preparation. You only enter this event for to reasons to race it position to get the finishers jersey and strut it like a peacock at the local church bazaar fun ride M L, MORNE , justinafrika and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a grippier tyre with a bit more pressure would be safer, they have the engines for the extra RR Edited March 22, 2022 by Jbr Fred van Vlaanderen and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted March 22, 2022 Share This flimsy tyre issue has been a thing since way back when and yet the top riders continue to take the risk. I suspect that they test tyres and opt for the most efficient option because it is that much faster. There is no doubt the less your tread squirms and bites into the ground, the lower your rolling resistance. They accept the risk and sometimes it just doesn't pay off....
