tyres for slimy causeways

[rick130]

'cause I'm still nursing a bloody sore shoulder from Sunday morning :oops2:

I've hyperextended the joint, could've been a lot worse I 'spose, and no grazes, it was like hitting a water slide, except my right arm went back under my body at full extension.

I think my old Vertical Pro's are just too old and hard.
At least I made it half way across before the front end washed out.

And the physio was sympathetic, he's a mtb'er that's done that too :angel:

Ah, yes, I've had the joy of getting pushed sideways by 6" of water across a slimy ford, lucky I managed to stay upright. On the same ford, across what is ironically named "Dry Creek" a mate of mine went right off the edge, drowned his phone and gps and got bumped around a bit. To be brutally honest, anything short of spiked tyres isn't going to help. It's like black ice.

Yep, I realise that, just having a whinge ;)

Plenty of motorbikes have gone down on the same causeway, a friend even said yesterday her ex lost his trike on it :eek:

These would work

Maybe some of isuzu rover's 40 durometer tyres might work...(?)

Not sure if your talking road or mtb bike but on my commuter I use Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres, I have not had a puncture and they have lots of grip, been good for two years and over 10,000km.
