tubes

Lets know how you get on and are you running with tubes no tubes or something else??

i'll running them with tubes.
Can't decide whether to run them at slightly higher than normal pressures for off road or fit some rim locks.
Hopefully most of the going will dry , so maybe higher pressures and grip will not be such an issue.....

Thanks Tim',

I have already bought the Mitas rear (£20 cheaper than this MT21).
If it is no good, I will have learnt my lesson...

Cheers,

don't forget the heidenau scout that 'll come in 130/70-17 (in april 2011) and 110/80-19:
like this one:

The best 50/50 on/off roads and much better on wet roads...

From what you've said about your trip, i'd be inclined to fit rim locks anyway.

If you find you need to drop your pressures halfway through your trip, you'll be pissed off if you have to keep swopping tubes out because of a bit of tyre creep and lack of prep.

The problem with these knoblies is when you ride it on the wet road It's very slippery. It seems that the new heidenau scout performe as well on off/on wet road.
Anybody have already tried them?
