S12 front and rear if you don’t mind getting through rear tyres a bit quicker or compromise with an S12 front and an MX Extra on the back. That combo will give you more miles and do the job but not the supreme hook up of an S12 rear.

That’s a good combo STM. The S12 rear will shread to pieces out here. I found the MX extra good until about 50%worn then it became unpredicable, but then any tyre will probably do that. The Extras are godd as they have a high, soft side wall so you can run a bit lower pressure for ‘Extra’ traction. There also shit easy to fit as well.

I’m really happy with the Kendas ATM. The front seems better the more I ride on it.

I didn’t like the M12 on the rear of my 4T years ago, haven’t tried them on the 2T and not about to.

Lets hope the words Galey / highside / Birthday ride / Sunny Corner does not equal new M12 rear tyre :silly:

Better tighten the loose nut behind the handlebars. :whistle:

Hey Mal/ Galey,
Is it fair to say that as we are based at Mary’s camp and not riding in this year we will miss the super rocky sections. I am contemplating a brand new S12.

No it’s not fair to say mate. :laugh:

You will be riding super rocky sections. It Sunny Corner you have to ride rocks. :woohoo:

There will be some stationary rock sections, aka Boot Hill and lots of loose rock sections aka 2 Steps and the other hills in that area.

A new S12 will be close to shagged by the end of the weekend. But then again you didn’t ride the Sunday morning loop last year (I think you were still drinking) so you maybe ok. :laugh:

Good point Mal
Looks like I am leaving that brand new S12 in the garage for this one. I have a new Dunlop M51 sitting next to it so I will fit that.
Shame to miss the morning loop last year but I think the can of fully loaded I had for dinner must have been past its use by date as I felt a bit sick late Saturday night and it continued well into Sunday. :sick:
The ride back to Capertee on Sunday was a big enough mission considering my state. Luckliy this year is catered so I am guaranteed fresh food so that I don’t get sick again. :whistle:

[MalMember]

M51 will be good STM.

And it can’t have been the can of fully loaded that mate you sick last year, it ened up on the ground at 2am (i have photos). Might have been something in the water. :laugh:

Cheers Mal.
S12 front and the Dunlop 51 out back. I will bring my own water and see if that helps. :laugh:

[AlexMember]

What torque can your socket take Bob? That nut needs some tightening….

If you are hard on the rear tyre the Sunny Corner loam will tear up the soft rears. Dont go a hard tyre either as the slippery red clay will have you on your arse or down the bottom of a tricky hill looking at your mates up the top.

See Mals thread on the Kendas that he is loving atm.

Just dont run a half worn, or worse, rear. :silly:

Heavy Duty or Ultra Heavy Duty tubes are the go if you dont like changing your pinched tubes on the trail. Most of the local folk run mousse tubes which tells you something.

Gotta love rolling into the forest on new tyres . :woohoo:

Should be no more front end slides with a fresh M12. Check out the old 952 missing 4 side knobs in a row! :silly: plus the rest were flopping around!

[Sean RamsayMember]

going a set of 606’s for the grade 2 sat and for a bash at a grade 3 on sun – figured they would be a compromise

[alanMember]

i got some bridgstone 604-603 intermediate to hard terane tyres for the BD ride

[Nick JacksonMember]

I was going to use my M12 rear ( 3 rides old ) but today I thought F it and got a new S12 rear to tackle Galeys Grade 5 ( or 4 whichever it’ll be great ) ride.

M12 front with a rock absorbing moose ….

Bring it on :Woohoo:

Nick
