Yea if you wanna learn to ride in bad conditions go ride the Welsh valleys for a few winters. Although I disagree that you need 'winter' tyres, you just need to Get Good at riding wet roots and steeps. Maybe something a bit chunky up front for the worst of it but I've been through multiple Welsh winters on HR2s and DHR2s, no bother. I love riding stuff full of wet roots with riders who aren't used to it, makes me feel like I'm actually good at riding. Also accept that you will crash and slide down the hill in the mud sometimes. At least it's mostly soft.

VelociBacon posted:Is the compound itself different to be softer at those temps or is it just the tread pattern? I can't imagine an aggressive DH tire not having the tread pattern to deal with wet mud/roots/etc because that's essentially what they're designed for. This is also my thoughts.

Yeah I've barely been out. Like you I'm hoping restrictions lift enough that I can get some valleys trails in towards the end of the year.

I've always found the Ardent to just kind of suck at everything. It doesn't roll that fast or brake that we'll and its cornering is just vague - it never feels like it locks in to the corner. The Ardent Race is a much nicer tyre for that sort of thing in my experience.

I think the HR2 is my all time favourite tyre just because of the way it locks into turns, but I hardly ever ride them any more because you have to be at 100% all the time to get them leant over on every corner to feel locked in.

I own a Commencal and agree with this sentiment.

Is using language like 'r****d' being cool? Just want to double check.
