Transalp Challenge Skills Masterclass 4 - Tyre Compound

Bike with shoesKey to maximising performance is choosing the right kit, and choosing a tyre compound that suits the proposed terrain and weather conditions is one that can make all the difference in an event such as the Transalp Challenge.

Here we see a conservative approach taken, normally adopted in changeable weather conditions and terrains. The beauty of this approach is somewhat hampered by the need to bring extra shoes; hiking boots for rough hill-tracks, and runners for tarmac.

I found some old shoes of mine during the CK works refurbishment (ok I mean tidy up!) would they be of any use?
ps I know Tango changes tyres once every two years wiether they need it or not!

All the best CK
