• I'm running a Purgatory on the front now, it's definitely not 2.3" and might just about squeeze in my seat stays but I've found they clog up quite badly with the clay found around Epping. Okay on the front where I've got loads of clearance but may be an issue on the rear.

    I suppose the other option for the rear (from Specialized) is the Ground Control, which is more of an all rounder. I tend to ride the cross bike if I'm expecting loads of mud, so that would be more sensible.

  • the Butcher has a more open tread, that on the front with a Purgatory on the rear is a common combo but I can't think of any tyres that won't clog in Epping slop beside full-on mud tyres
