I love my Rubber Queens! Pricey though for the UST versions.
Haha, not me, just something one of my mates linked on Facebook
Will be hitting some african trails in December though, looking forward to it so much!

Driving myself potty with jacket searching today.
Considering the following:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-eq25-waterproof-cycling-jacket/ - £62
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/altura-night-vision-evo-waterproof-cycling-jacket/ - £90
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-signal-jacket/ - £48
Thinking of going for the top one probably - good reviews, reasonably priced.

Cool vid, he's pretty good. I dabbled with trials when I was a youngster, was never that good but I could and still can watch people better than me ride all day
Please do as you say though and change the music

I remember a similar video to this last year, cracking stuff!
Right guys, i'm after some new tyres as my rear tyre is getting a bit worn.
I mostly ride XC (Llandegla, Cannock etc) so after some reading up I think i've decided on:
Front: Rubber Queen 2.2 Black Chilli
Rear: Mountain King II 2.4 Black Chilli, ProTection
I've heard that the tyres are different sizes so if I go for the sizes above they will look about the same size.
I'm not to confident in the wet mud, on wet rocks etc so would prefer the extra grip over speed so would the above be a good combination? If not, what would you all recommend?
Also where is the best place to order them from? And should I go for folding or beaded? (does it matter?)
Cheers

i have the 2.2 RQ BC front and back
the 2.2 is pretty big for a 2.2
they are good on wet roots etc, not too bad in the mud (for a fat normal tyre)
they do give on the edge on wet berms etc if you push them (as most would)
only downside of them is that they are a bit draggy in the very dry but im far too lazy to have summer / winter tyres !
folding weighs less? also easier to get on/off and fold up for putting a spare in a bag etc
some tyres have better compounds of rubber on the folding ones than on the wire version as well (not sure if the wire ones are BC?)
found these for £22 each

Thats great, thanks for that.
So would you recommend the rubber queens front and back? Do you know how these compare to the mountain kings in terms of grip?
Also do the rubber queens only come in black chilli compound? Don't want to end up with non black chilli ones.

I have Rubber Queens on my Intense (2.4 Front 2.2 Rear - 2.4 wouldn't fit on the rear).
They've been excellent in both the dry and the wet. People say they are a bit cumbersome in the dry but haven't really found them that bad!
