What kind of tyres and brakes are recommended?
Our choice is fat, nobby tyres, even though they slow you down on tarmac roads. Our routes involve mostly forest tracks and single-tracks, where the good grip of nobby tyres is important to grant safety and a nice feeling. Whether you use tubeless tyres or conventional tyres is up to you. The same is true for disc brakes and V-brakes. Both systems have upsides and downsides.
