All good input,and like XGiant said a Rekluse sure eats that kind of stuff up. Bumpy and challenging terrain (I will
not say "technical
")is sure a lot more fun when you can forget the clutch altogether.
I had a guy tell me that that's part of the challenge. Well maybe, but if I'm tired it's not that much fun for me. I'd rather concentrate on the other things and that brings me all the "challenge" I want. I learned all about clutches by the time I was,oh,13. I
get it now.
Hey, if more challenge is needed just attack the section while holding your sack, I told him. You know, your ...lunch.
Along with wet rocks, wet tree roots are made childs play with a trials tire more than any other kind of rubber,period.
There's all kind of debates on trials tires don't do this they do this though,etc.,etc.
However, there's a very good reason that 90 freakin' percent,
90 of Endurocross competitors ran them last year before the Maxxis sponsored (they,uh,don't make trials tires) series and AMA stupidity made them illegal. There's a good reason I saw this years Erzberg Rodeo winner Blasuziak in a picture climbing this immense rock garden/cliff on his KTM 250XC was running a trials tire out back.
Think about an Endurocross track, with it's logs,limbs,rocks, both wet and dry and it's easy to see in that enviornment nothing worked like a trials tire.
On rocks and roots they feel like suction cups. Doug
