A Big Thanks to Robert Roalfe from Grim's Himalayan site. We spend the day riding around 160km across the plains. Plenty of Offs, getting stuck and the heat giving a few of us a hammering.
Blue camelbak... two dismounts two minutes! I can tell 100% his bike is running tyres at road pressures. Go for at most 50% of road tyre pressures and you'll transform your riding. As low as 12-15 psi is fine. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. (And take a compressor to reinflate for the road ride home!) Edit: I watched the whole vid. I'm convinced your tyre pressures are not soft enough either! Props for showing the reality of how easy it is to end up in the nettles!
Lol. Yea TBF there were further apart prob least 3hrs I'm before 1st off. But last cpl was close as was getting hard and tired. Yea around 36 30 on tyres. I do have cordless pump in the bike.
Pedant comment: It’s “Plain” not “Plains” I.e the singular article. No one really falls off they are just “unplanned dismounts”😉. It’s pretty hard not to as much of the ruts are covered over this time of year - need more people to ride them. We will be out there Sunday
