    Hi there,
    Hope you don't mind me messaging you.
    I saw a post you made about running Michelin Mud and Jet tires.
    I am thinking of doing the same this year.
    Which direction do you run both the Jet and Mud on the rear?
    It says to run them backwards. Is this what you do?
    What conditions did you run the Mud front and Jet rear?
    Many thanks

    Any reason you never purchased the cassette? I now have a new policy that custom cassettes (or anything) will have to be ordered and paid up front.
