Generally use Racing Ralphs but at the moment using continental Country mud.

My all time favourite tyre is the Larsen TT, but they went silly expensive for a while, but seem to have come down to sensible prices lately.

Oh and the Mountain Kings are great off-road but damned dangerous on a wet road - be careful.

Panaracer Fire XC's in the Winter and Racing Ralph in the summer. I've had no puncture issues with the Panaracers.

Don't think it'll sell so might let it end and then offer them £500.

Yes, good bike and good spec.

I've just got a cheap back wheel to use with my turbo trainer, but it doesnt come with a cassette, would I be OK using this Sora cassette? It's a mountain bike, don't know if the chain is different?

On friday I will be picking up one of these http://www.dolan-bikes.com/Aluminium...sio%20Frameset for a long-overdue winder bike build. If you squint your eyes up really tight when I'm riding past in heavy rain it might look just like Cav's new bike.
