Run tyres as big as your frame will allow at Herne Hill. The rubble strewn outfield is notorious for race ending tyre malfunctions so worth taking avoidance measures, especially when itβs dry still (it gets vaguely more forgiving when the ground is soft in deep winter).
I know at least two forumites who were moaning like true gammons yesterday, because the infield section was too long (one, who shall remain anonymous, reckoned it spoilt the balance of the course).
Personally the less time we spend in the rubble zone the better.
