Epic Racing around the World

With all the Euro racing going on this past couple of weeks, and being a tire geek myself, I thought we’d put together an ongoing segment on equipment, what to use, when to use it, and why to use it.

Its a work in progress…conditions and demands on gear in April in Oregon is different than Utah in June which is nothing like Vermont July, Canada in August, Costa Rica in November, or Kansas in December.

But…with a little work, I think we can keep the themes going. This phase will be on tires. Chewy dirt. Chunky dirt. Tacky. Fast. Smooth. Muddy. Shredded. Pavement. The Inuit have a thousand words for snow. We have this for riding conditions. One words means a slew of set up nuances and particular circumstances that dictate the what/where/why.
