Wannabe Posted July 27, 2010 Share Is there any preventative steps that can be taken to prepare your Mtb for expected muddy riding conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Mud tires like mountain kings, and wet lube i would think, some people say spray and cook on the bars to shed mud (not sure about that though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark ellis Posted July 27, 2010 Share the mx guys spray silicone or similar under the mudgaurds, stops the mud from sticking and making the bike heavy and unbalanced, not sure how effective it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacho! Posted July 27, 2010 Share Those water bottles with the caps keeps the mud out of your mouth when reaching for a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb_Josh Posted July 27, 2010 Share spray and cook on the tyres works quite well, doesnt last long enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewie911 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Wrap something around your the fork, where the bottom headset bearing is, to protect from mud. Or better yet, buy this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=4773 Dont wear white. I have a white jersey and arm warmers as proof Get eggbeaters and take shimano pedals along to through at potential attackers. Continuous cable housing.

Nobody Posted July 28, 2010 Share Just ride. You either going to be over prepared or someone elses unpreparedness will get you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Good Wet Lube and an even better sense of humour ... also aim to for the puddles with your bike and try and get your riding buddies splashed .. good fun it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted July 28, 2010 Share Are you still worried about Stellies race this saturday!, camaan, Just ride your bike, nothing youve not seen before. Weather should be good. Rust ride in the dry spots and if it is muddy, rather ride through the puddle (slowly if you dont want to get wet) than through the churned up mud on the side, as the "runny" stuff is less sticky. Its going to be fun!

Bos Posted July 28, 2010 Share Im sure there will be some stickey mud from whenever, the clay is the problem..which Is why I recomend.. Spray n Cook TM Â But it should be good in general,Man that race will be very hard when really wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
