thats a good point actually, just have heard a lot of talk about narrow slicks on mountain bikes so was thinking 1.75 was a good compromise. but Im not worried about the size exactly. I spend most of my time off-road so dont do a lot of road riding. mind you, the state of our roads I reckon I'll need full offroad tyres (I live in an area with a lot of farms and rough roads)
I know about best of both not being brilliant at either but to be honest Im not overly worried as when I was riding my giant I had cheapo offroad tyres on it and that was doing a 13 mile trip on-road. just thinking about something a little better. I just had the tyres on it because it spent most of its time off-road. (not got a motorbike at the moment so cycling will be my main transport). it will be predominantly used on the road, its just nice to know it can be taken off the road when I want.
I am debating about just getting some slicks/semi slicks but those splashbacks are looking quite appealing.
