Cape Epic 2021 Training and Advice

Tire choices? Have you guys considered the new 2.4 Maxxis Aspen or Rekon Race? The wider tread would be good for grip in the loose terrain and you can run lower pressures without those crazy “pool noodle” inserts (according to Nino Schurter). I’d suggest a robust 29 to 30mm inner width rim with those tires like the DT Swiss XMC for that race.
