• I never bother with a soft rear tyre for holidays (unless there's a race and then I might swap out for two days). Even hard compound rear tyres are trashed after a few days of uplifts in the big mountains IME and soft tyres last a day. Loose is fun anyway!

  • unless there's a race

    Aye, the Ultrasoft purple Schwalbe compound seems like a race only tyre to me. Doesn't last more than two days hard riding.
