So, how does it ride or are still just drooling over it in the kitchen?

So far all I have managed is a few laps around the park in the dark.

That’s awesome. Love the spec. Should be a blast

It goes better than me. Am recovering from a cold so not ideal but conditions were great today. Will take a bit of getting used to but loving it so far.The rider is definitely the limiting factor by a very long shot.

What are your thoughts on the Magic Mary / Big Betty combo? Did you ride hardpack with them?

Thats WA pea gravel, no tyres do well on that

My experience from driving too fast on pea gravel. No grip, no grip, no grip, no grip, bang or no grip, no grip, no grip, no grip, fuck that was close.

Sounds about right. I don't think I'd ever be able to clip in out here, too many foot out moments needed - and I don't even go fast!

I bought a Super Tacky DHF as the front for one of my bikes. The other bike has a MaxxGrip Assguy... Pea gravel is shit shit shit, if anyone else tells you otherwise, they are on crack!

I haven't ridden that many rides on the original tyres. I put some Maxxis on my old wheels and kept the original tyres on the original wheels which are now a spare set.

I thought they were decent but not vastly better or worse than the Maxxis Assegai/DHRII combo. As per comments above on dry pea gravel basically nothing grips. On other trails without pea gravel in relative terms everything feels like hero dirt!

The relay itself is awesome however, heaps of fun and saved me from ejection into the bush several times.

Never a truer thing spoken. On the occasion you hit something other than pea gravel out the back of Kalamunda everything hooks up so well

There's a Strava segment in the Adelaide Parklands that has a 30m long section with a squillion gum nuts on tarmac... talk about riding on marbles.

Allegedly he was spotted in the area with a leaf-blower 15 minutes before the legendary run.

Broom in the backpack, stashed against the tree while executing the fast pass

I had a good 20 goes at that before getting it, it was a shitty pants moment on every go.
