Strengths: Low rolling resistance center. Outside knobs that grip. Good volume "true" 2.35.Weaknesses: No UST availability.Bottom Line: Provides exactly what I wanted for a front tire in loose over hard conditions. The low rolling resistance of the SB8 while able to grip like a Nevegal. The durability and wear of the tire has been excellent. It's breaking in the corners is almost predictable and gets up to speed in the straights with minimal effort compared the Nevegal. I've always like semi-slick tires, but lately the options have been limited. I will buy the UST version as soon as it's available and probably even give it a shot a rear tire.

Strengths: fast, low rolling resistance, sticke rubber on the transition and edge knobs, grips very well, supple 120tpi carcass, good terrain conformityWeaknesses: none so farBottom Line: I eyeballed these tires for awhile after running on my stock Kenda Kwicks. I liked the kwicks but certainly need more in the cornering grip department and the Happy Mediums seemed to fit the bill. The Happy Mediums are exactly that. They roll fast and they corner hard, even with all the leaves and gunk on the ground right now. Hit a few patches of mud and it still maintained its line. I'm 6' 200lbs and I run the front 2.35 at 32lbs and the rear 2.1 at 38lbs.
