More Winter tyre swapping - Nobby Nic & Dirt Wizards

I was up and into the man cave early this morning for some bike fettling that I have been meaning to get sorted for a while. I had a couple of hours spare before I had to go down to Chester Le Street so adjusted the Ultegra front mech on the Norco Search as it was rubbing on the outer plate of the mech when the chain was in big ring on the front and near the bottom of the cassette on the back. In the end it only need the cable tension adjusted via the in line adjuster, much better.
Then it was onto the Krampgrease - removed the Surly Knard 29 x 3" tyres and fitted the Surly 29" Dirt Wizards. Not sure why but they do air up narrower than the Knards but other shed loads more grip in the wet / mud.
After bike two it was onto the Beast of the 'N' East. I swapped the Rocket Ron for a 27.5 x 3" Nobby Nic but have decided to leave the Panaracer on the front for now as its a half way house between a Nobby Nic and Rocket Ron.
Time to hit some trails and get them muddy!
