Seeing as 99% of the trail at Sparrow Hill is as hard and smooth as concrete, then the smaller the knobs the better. Just watch out for sidewall cuts on the sharp rocks - I think because there's so few rocks they're easy to get complacent about.

tyre choice
i was riding at sparrow during the worlds on Schwable Nobby nics grip well but softside walls slashed both front and rear tyres in one ride over the full 40km loop.
now i am on Nokian Gazza NBK fast grippy and stronger side walls plus they are green friendly. if you have ever ridin at Mt Buller we have bigger and sharp rocks these tyres have lasted all summer.
Looking forward to this years Mont!

Make em do laps. And when they whinge a cry send them out again,
My kids have been kicking around the events for a while with little or no trouble, there are usually a few kids about so they get a little feral tribe thing happening, well... mine turn feral for the weekend.
Get them out there, after a few they will get used to it.
Mine will be down for Easter

Kris - I'll have my family at the MONT, plus in our little group there will be at least two other families with kids in the 1 yr to 9yr range, most around the 6yr age group.
The kids love it.
