Nah, another 1000 miles on that...
I've just fitted some maxxis shorties and gone tubeless for the first time. Will see how they hold up.

Hurtwood summit, possibly a trig point. I am tubeless and backpack-less now, happy days.
Spare tube under the battery, one of the original tubes fits in there nicely. Dakine hot laps gripper bag with multitool, levers, CO2 and spare link. ?
Not a chance, the knobs are starting to peel off the carcass, I like getting my money’s worth and this one needs burying ?
After an almighty fight, lots of swearing & two snapped tyre levers, managed to get a wire bead Dirty Dan on the back over the procore.
should hook up nicely on the mud. Maiden ride tomorrow ?
I really rate shortys, have a 2.5 on the front of my Evil Insurgent, run it all year round and it’s superb.

my mudhugger works wonders at stopping my back getting absolutely caked, not 100% but i'd say its a good 95% better than not having one

It does a pretty good job, although pretty it isn't!.
The rear is a large rear MH, and a MH FRX front too. It does a good job of keeping my back dry and stops the build up of mud at the back of the motor.

Cold. Wet. Foggy...
...I loved it! Liking the rear-specific tyre for Verdict users. WTB Judge 2.4 has bit less volume and a more typical 'paddle' rear tread. Working well plus more mud-clearance too.

Seems to me like you've added a splash of colour in that last pic ?

That’s the problem with this time of year, no chance of just a wipe over, it’s a full blown wash!!

Hi Guys
I love my bike, but.... when I get up to 15 mph, the front brake pads rattle/ vibrate , goes if I apply front brake gently or go above 17.5 mph. It’s really annoying, I asked Rutland Cycles to take a look at its first service, but noise is still there, anyone else experienced this?

My Cube HT still does that even after a disc upgrade. It was disconcerting in the early days because it happens at the motor cutoff speed so appears motor related. Proved it by removing caliper and going for a ride.
Carefully.
