Im going to moab in a couple days, and need some help deciding what bike/tires to bring. Im primarily a downhiller and free rider, however if most of the trails require significant pedaling , i dont want to be pissed off and pushing everywhere.
Bikes:
Astrix Havoc (41lbs 64* head angle and super short seat tube)
888rc3wc
roco air or heavy custom el jefe
Sworks enduro (30-36lbs depending on build)
halo combat wheels (2600g) or v1 am (1750 grams)
dhx air or avy 5th (which increases travel to 165 but adds a lb)
2008 talas 36
tires (2 of each): michi comp 24s 2.5 (1280)
intense ex lite 2.5 dc (1050g)
muddy mary tripple nano 2.5 freeride (980g)
prowler 2.5 mx race (folding bead and single ply) (1050g)
some krads and holly rollers
1 of each: single ply folding weirwolf (750g)
michi wild grip'r 2.4 (860g)
Im leaning towards bringing the sworks eduro with the avy and heavy wheelset (combats) with the prowler mx front and rear. Ive been talking to some people and gotten avid votes for just about every combo out there, tire and bike (i will admit full dh with holy rollers on slick rock sounds like a total blast....until the sand and loose stuff)
Any advice would be much appreciated! although im sure ill have a blast on whatever i bring.
