Grin - Karve and I chatted about FoD tyre choice today and concluded that there's probably not a single ideal all round tyre choice as the tracks are quite varied!

I've never run a smaller front tyre width compared to rear so can't offer any advice on how that might feel but personally I'd stick with HR F&R.

(that said, I'll probably have a last minute panic now and go wet screams F&R unless the hookworms turn up in time!! ;) )

As predicted on Friday Night by the other half - broken hand... not quite right she went for scaphoid when it was the metacarpal but close enough eh - lucky not to to damage it further yesterday and initial xrays show clean singular break - out for 6 weeks minimum but could have been worse. That a hell of a long time to spend ebiking!
