Good 5 and 1/2 ride on the Procaliber on Sunday in the wind, rain and mud! Bike stood up to it well, possibly broken an XO shifter though, seems ok after a quick rebuild but think it will probably give up at around 2 am Sunday
Handles well in the mud even with the XDX tyres fitted (Dry fast tyre)...damn tubeless makes you lazy for changing stuff around!
Now the weather has been fully rubbish for about 2 weeks now so conditions ain't sounding great down south in Plymouth. On a brighter note though it means i may be able to Singlespeed :-) as originally planned. The main climbs on the course should be all good as there pretty hard pack.
The singletrack is all pretty good for 32 x 16 aswell.
Riding SS should help with mechanical's in the weather, although a dry weekend is forecast, there will be so much water around already it'll be a mud fest leading to screwed chainsets and jammed mechs...not good for the wallet or performance!
So new brake pads and a bit of lube and it's 32 x 16 for me...although the Pro will be with me just in case.
