I'm running the 100/100 on my WRR. It was great in the Michigan sand and mud and continues to do a great job here in the rocks and gravel.

The smaller tire has less power-sapping mass and the smaller diameter keeps your gearing about the same as stock.

No pics or vids of us just yet, but here's a video of the park we've been riding at shot by one of the guys we've met down here.

Plus 1 for the 100/100. I dont like the trackmaster front. It doesn't seem to hook up good in the mud and they wear out uneven. I run what ever new or used MX tires I can find on the front.
Went to the Doctor yesterday for my leg. He said its looking good. I ask him why it hurts all the time and he didn't have much of a anwser other then it takes time to heal.
Stoped at the pony on the way home and bought a new jacket and pants.

+1 on the Trakmaster 100/100, I've had them on all my bikes always been great for the mixed riding and trails I do.

Don't like the TM fronts either. Honestly just looking at it you can tell it's not an ideal front. The paddle design makes no sense for a front tire, where there's no torque or power to put that to work. Most fronts are staggered knobs, for a reason. The front wants to wash out on me, and it feels odd on the pavement.

I like the Sedona MX877IT front tire for a dual sport front, it's a great all around front tire and is pretty affordable.

Here’s someone who could use a little help if you have some cash burning a hole in your paypal account.

I'm headed out for a ride in just a few...headed to Blissfield to get a covered bridge, then back to Peggy Sue's for lunch. Here's my intended route:

I reckon it'll be 2ish by the time I get to Blissfield, probably closer to 3 when I reach Peggy Sue's, if anyone wants to catch me and ride along...or just meet for lunch.

I may give that a try, seems reasonable. I know I run a skinnier rear on my mountain bike when it's muddy; helps get down through the slop to traction not to mention lbs of weight per tire square inch.
I do plan to gear my bike down a little at the same time. It's about due for sprockets & chain anyway. I'm trying to decide between 47&48/14. Not quite as low as 43/12, but a little lower than stock. In theory, the larger cogs should make the chain last longer as well as keep me off the swing-arm slider thing. Probably just go with a decent O-ring chain. I hate that the bike will go faster in 5th than 6th due to not enough power to pull the way too tall gearing. I find I generally end up slowing down when up-shifting to 6th. I think 1st & 2nd could stand to be a bit lower. I'm also finding I rarely use 6th around here, it won't even pull these paved hills, so may as well make 1st a creeper gear.

I run 13/47 and love it. Great on the trails and will do 83mph in 6th.

#1 killer of the chain guide is running the chain too loose- especially if you're running highway speeds.
