Probably shitty technique from me too. I don't mind the rear sliding but the front washing will likely be me unweighting it without realising
WA: Kalamunda Circuit. Good tyres for Pea gravel?

Try to, I think I just lean back too much

Maybe you need to watch a bunch of really aggressive macho action vid clips pasted together in rapid fire succession before riding to really amp you up?

Maybe. More likely I'm just a bit of a pussy

Well I thought that would be an easy you tube solution...but no. Between videos telling me how to be alpha and pull women (quick version - get abs and $$$) and montages of computer gaming, there wasn't anything useful.

DHR2 or HR2 up front. A bit more grip and predictability than the DHF.

I've long liked the pronounced edge on the holy roller series.

Another vote for Wild Enduro's even though nothing grips in pea gravel - the Michelin's work best for me, I was riding with a guy using the DH 34's and he thought they were great and the rest of us (mix of Wild Enduro/Agessai/DHF) were slipping all over the shop as per usual. Best bet is ride the Valley/Dwellingup/Down South and avoid most of it until it starts raining again!
I found a DHF always worked best around the Camel Farm providing you weighted the front and leant the bike over. If you didn't commit the front would always slide a fair bit. I ran DHFs on the front of my Heckler and then my Tallboy LT. I also ran an HR2 on the front of my Heckler for a bit, that actually wasn't too bad either.
On my hardtail I ran a Hans Dampf with both a Rock Razor and an HR2 out back. The HR2 was used in summer and the RR in winter. I found the HD a better tyre if I was only riding up to say 7/10s and mostly cruising around. As soon as I really started pushing I found nothing beat a DHF around there in summer.
I ran a Vittoria Morsa out back on my Tallboy LT along with a 2.4" Ardent. I'd actually try the 2.4" Ardent to go with your DHF, that was the best combo I found (ran it on both my Heckler and Tallboy LT). The Morsa rolled super well though, and had more grip when lent over.

Always hard convincing yourself to commit on that gravel!

You didn’t seem to really enjoy our great state’s gravel?

I am pretty convinced that's why flats dominate here, no time to unclip when commit turns to oh shit

I am spoilt by most of my local trails being hard pack under dust.
It's because flats are good and clipless is strange.

I’ve never had an issue being stuck in spd’s. Just one of the many benefits of not exceeding 5km/h.

OK, revisiting this again as my tyres are starting to leak...
Any updated on a DHF/Aggressor combo, probably with a more heavy duty casing for my fat ass...
I see Vittorias are available again and wouldn't giving them or something else a whirl, knowing that nothing in particular grips here...

Have you tried a Vittoria Martello. It's like a cut Shorty but with a better compound and lugs that don't fold. But you pay for it with rolling resistance.
Maxxis Assegai would probably be good too, but rolling resistance and the dreaded Maxxis wobble.
