It's massive country out there. And we did just one little bit.
Managed to clock up just over 1500 k's with about 500 of that, dirt, sand, gravel.

Should be a good rally at Tottenham Max. Sounds like a few on adv are going...

Well Lord knows, you wouldn't get there as quickly if you went slower.

Let's see MS crack that logic! :geek:

Well....

If you go fast enough to get stopped, that can lead you to get there quicker slower.

If you go fast enough to crash, then you would get there WAY quicker slower.



Challenge me, will you?

If I didn't go, I still wouldn't be there. Slowest possible way to get there.

That was mostly 80 kph. Gopro makes it look faster. :geek:

Oh, I've not been there that way many times.

I've missed hitting many deer by using that [sad] method.

...and some places you've been you don't wanna go anyway.
And then there's some places you've been you wished you never did.

I hate to un-degrade but while it seems like an 18" tube of a size narrow enough for the front tire would do for either, I'd carry the correct front size. As the tube gains girth during inflation, the inside diameter will shrink (overinflate it as suggested by Ken in Oklahoma and you'll see this happen). This should make it fit the rear tire pretty well. I think that would work better than using a rear tube for the front.

Disclaimer: I've probably installed more tubes in tires than anybody else here on the site. That still does not mean I know anything about tubes/tires compared to somebody on the internet. So, if you read something on the internet that doesn't agree with me, you should do what that guy says. :)

Aw Chuey, you're too modest. I bet you can put a can of whup ass on any of those internet dudes.
