Here are my options
Aspen st 2.4 120tpi or aspen st 2.25 170tpi.
Any insight to new course and what might be the best option? I weigh 155lbs and am not hard on gear…. It’s been years of riding here in New England tech without a flat.
I will also run inserts just in case
We won’t know the course until Friday, at the latest. But there’s no way to make that decision now.
Lots of good options that will work well. I’m running Vittoria Peyote XC Race 2.4 front and rear with an insert in back again this year. Very low rolling resistance with better side knobs than Aspen’s for turning (and I raced Sea Otter with Aspen in ‘25). FWIW, Cecily Decker placed 2nd overall at the Stage Race last weekend on Peyote’s, and that was on a much tougher and more technical course.
Good luck on race day.
