How did the hans dampf go in the berm sandtraps? Did it still roll fairly well? Looking at throwing one up the front of my rig.

Have been riding with that Hans Dampf for 12 months now. It's lasted really well. It's always been tubeless and still has plenty of tread left. Never had a puncture with it. I've had 3 tyres on the rear since purchasing this front one. Like any tyre with raised side knobs you've just got to have confidence in them and let them do their work on the corners, sandy or not. Pardon the pun, it has never let me down. Only my own bike skills do that.

Depends what size chainring and where you ride really. Got a 30t because I ride at the Youies a lot. Going to use a 32t or 34t at Barjarg next weekend. I first went to 1x10 with a 36t chainring and then went to Mt Buller and road Stonefly. That was dumb. Although the ride down Delatite was awesome until I cramped up because of the climb up Stonefly earlier. I've held my own with the 1x10 and the 36t with XC riders at Wollongong. Keeping up with them on the ascents and waiting at the bottom for them at the end of every descent. Hope that helps sway your opinion.

Sets me back a divorce if my wife ever finds out. It's pretty easy to work out from looking around though.

The wheels were won in a competition so don't think I'm some dick with all the gear and no idea.

If you were to buy all of this full retail it'd be something like 7-8 grand. Wow pretty scary now I've worked that out.

Yeah that's the ballpark I thought. Man I don't care if you couldn't pedal it out of the garage, a sweet ride is exactly that. I want to do a custom build myself but need to save some funds an decide what frame to use as a donor.
Enjoy that beast.

It's a personal thing I think. Why not get a 32t and see how that feels?

Real nice bike mate, looks like a shredder.
Those Nukeproof bikes look really good because I didn't hear about them till about 3 weeks ago.
