from Houston, TX, USA Date Reviewed: April 5, 2006 Strengths: Easy to mount, very light weight, bombproof, will come to a screeching stop on a wet manhole lid. Double or triple of the normal amount of friction provides much additional exercise (1.75" width). These should be marketed as a weight-loss product. Weaknesses: Super Slow!! This (T-Serv 26x1.75), being an enlarged roadie tire, has the same rubber compound as is necessary to hold a 25mm wide tire on the road. However, at 1.75, it has double the necessary friction. Had to work hard just to hit 17 mph, and couldn't hold anything over 15 mph. Yuck!!! Double-Yuck!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Houston, TX Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $27.00 Purchased At: Airbomb Similar Products Used: Schwinn Typhoon Cord, Chen Sching 26x1.75 knobbies (and both of these had the appropriate super-fast, dry-feeling, non-sticky rubber compound that SHOULD be on a large tire). Bike Setup: Hard tail

from Minneapolis Date Reviewed: November 1, 2005 Strengths: Roll much better than most belted tires. Very fast. Weaknesses: I purchased the 26 x 1.75 and they are more like a 1.4 width. Little rocks and glass get stuck in the ridges; have to pull the stuff out with a tweezer frequently. Way over priced!!
