• BN - what are considered suitable tyres? I have an OTP Cross Check SS with the 42mm Conti Tour Guards.

    Is the tread like this? If so, then that looks as if it might clog up in muddy conditions. This time of year should be ok, although I'd seriously consider putting something bigger and/or grippier on the front.

    Looks as if the Cross Check can take at least a 47mm/1.8'' knobbly up front.
