Yeah, that is really impressive, but being a brit I'm still glad Gee won!

And SO gutted for Peaty! Hope he gets it next year. He so deserves it. He is so fed up with second!

ya there's a minion dhf(front) and a minion dhr(rear) look at maxxis.com im pretty sure it the same as the front

flag MattyCatchy (Apr 15, 2009 at 3:18)
But you can use DHF front and rear, and the same with the DHR.

On the advert for them (back of a magazine) it said they can be used front and rear, or (for te DHF) front when paired with a DHR.

the last world cup race of the season (can't remeber where) sam hill was beaten by sam blenkinsop. peaty and gee both went to congratulate him on winning, where was sam hill? no where to be seen. hes quite arogant if you ask me. just my opinion tho.

oh ok, i thought he didnt. he is a good rider tho, and yes everyone does like to win. but i dont think hes gonna win this year. i think Steve Peat or Greg Minnaar due to the world champs being held at Mt. stromlo in Canberra

DHF has better rolling power and sam doesnt brake also, thats why it is good.
Only thing what i cant understand is why he didnt use highroller or extreme tire like - wet scream2.5 like Gee on that kind of course.
