Yeah that'll be the problem getting them for Sunday. You'd have to go to mb models to get them towards Leeds or what I do I order them direct from ballistic buggy but they might not arrive for Sunday, if you order them before 5 today they MIGHT come on Saturday as they're usually very fast but no guarantee

nah its all in the thumbs, hard to say what works when part of the track is puddled and half is dry

Are you serious Chris??? Bb greens are considerably quicker in wet or greasy conditions

I have some worn BB greens that I am boiling off some rims today, they are past their very best but still have plenty of spike left and will certainly be better than any Schumacher yellow tyre.

If you want them you are welcome to them just let me know here, first come first served.

i was suprised as well, dont get me wrong, hardly ideal but if i didnt have bb"s id at least try a set of new yellows cause they are raceable

Truth be told pretty much anything 'works' its just degrees of performance. Fresh yellows are drivable on our track when wet, just not at the best pace. If you think about it, for our outdoor indoor meeting people were running a wide range of largely unsuitable tyres and getting round.

You use what you have.

Personally I'll be using dBoots Multibytes (B compound) at the back and most likely green minispikes at the front. The dBoots work great, the green minis are just what I've got.....
