Dan Jones Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I was running IRC el gatos at the time I don't think it's down to the tyres them self but I run 40 psi front and rear, it was raining a little bit and everything was wet. I just wanted to make it to back wheel in the conditions how they were. If I changed something to make it easier for my self it just wouldn’t be the same feeling when you finally make it. :lol: I remember feeling a bit ill after trying it so many times, excellent!

Ducko Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 el gatos are awful things no wonder you didnt grip the thing! big swap thou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 When will people realise that el gato's are f**king awsome tyres? >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafu26 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 well done, looks rather wet! you should remix that apollo 440 song - 'can't swop, can't swop the rock! waaaaooooooeeeee' sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve sturt Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Definately full marks for perserverance. The odds were against somewhat, what with it being wet and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Jones Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I thought most of the grip comes from choosing a nice tyre pressure rather than the compound it self? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 But compound and tread pattern also helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I thought most of the grip comes from choosing a nice tyre pressure rather than the compound it self? Oh Danny boy...will you never listen to me? Rowan's finally gone the Maxxis route... their slow reezay's are awesome. For the record El Gato's would be fine if they had a touch more pinch protection and were about 0.2" fatter at the rear. I reckon you'd get up that first time on the HiFi (in the same conditions) though. Nice harsh grind too. Your brake looks like it's slipping like a biatch on the Pure! Still lovin the 'yeah, first time...' quote! Take it easy fella Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 that pretty funny, at least you didn't give up on it but yeah el gato's are terrible tyres and you're right running them at 40psi as any lower and they'd pinch all the time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
