Gear Talk / off road tires

I'll say the same as mentioned above about the WTB Velociraptors.  I used one set for the entire GDMBR, with very few flats.  Not the fastest tread design, but that ain't what you want anyway.

Gear Talk / Great Divide Equipment

« on: March 06, 2004, 07:11:41 pm »

I rode the GDMBR solo in '99.  i used a BOB trailer for my gear, which worked wonderfully.  I would be wary of putting too much weight over the wheels due to durability and handling issues.  I know you said you plan on only carrying 25 lbs or so, but there are places where you will HAVE to carry more than that for food, water, camping/cooking gear etc, and those are the places where equipment failure would be the worst.
Good Luck.
