Does anyone have much experience with the Assegai in a sticky mud setting? I was doing some Cypress DH laps with two friends who both ran Assegai front/back, while I was riding DHF. Weather was great, but conditions from the heavy rain two days prior, made thinks pretty gloopy (those guys maintain the trails we rode, so no bad juju here).
Anyway, on all three runs, those guys' tires were packing up and stayed packed to the bottom, with them slipping through every corner like they were on a luge track. My DHF's were flinging mud constantly, and my tread stayed clear. I'm interested if anyone has had similar experiences with Assegai... I'd love to give em a try, because an all-weather champion of a tire is something I'm willing to invest in for the DH rig, but not if there's a huge caveat for sticky mud conditions. That could ruin a whole day of lift runs.
