Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Mad Dog Cycles
Strengths:
Super slick, very low rolling resistance (for a mountain bike), slow tread wear. I like the tual tread design, smooth in the middle and more aggressive on the sides (for cornering).
Weaknesses:
Can't really think of any.
Bike Setup:
Pure frame, Hayes hydraulic disk in front, Deore V-brakes on the back, XT hubs with Sun Rhynolite rims, Thomson seat post, marzocchi forks, Oury grips
Bottom Line:
Nice fat super smooth road tire for your mountain bike. It won't keep up with the road bikes but it makes riding on the road so much nicer!

Bike Setup:
80lb electric comfort bike for road use.
Bottom Line:
These slicks are pretty good for the road. I run low pressure and a 80lb bike. I run about 18-20 psi in front and 26 psi. I have the 26 x 2.2. They are 26.5 inches tall and about 2 1/16" wide on skinny rims. They soften the bumps pretty well. Pumped up to normal levels, they become easier to pedal but ride gets bumpy at higher speeds. I have 1700 miles on them but I don't pedal much. They will wrinkle on big ledge type bumps if not aired up to like 26, but I don't care about that. They have a thin sidewall but the corners are thick and the center section slick is about 1 inch wide. The softer rubber on the corners is not a slick, but textured rubber. I really like them.
