you may think i should have picked a better tire for the rear because of the mud but...there was only a few spots where the mud was REALLY bad. i was able to roll through most of the bad stuff pretty easily with this set up. and when we hit pavement, it road smooth and fast too.
This is a whole new world for me. I went from doing some Tri races and road riding. I saw a video for the Dirty Kanza 200, it got me thinking I need to get a bike that can do that type of riding. The GT grade max tire I believe is 35mm. The Clement looks like a good choice for tires. My goal for races has always been don't come in last.
