Fat slicks - which ones to buy?

[sic_nick]

I've used the Nokia's before, they were good at soaking up the road vibrations so long as you don't pump them up too high.

I have a pair of these, and they're great.

Agreed, I have a few sets, and I think they're grrreaat.

edit: they're reasonable, weight wise, too.

I have a pair of Ritchey Moby Bite 2.1 on my urban assault vehicle, completely slick but handle quite well omn wet pavement, unlike Schwalbe Kojaks in my experience.

Schwalbe Crazy Bob's in 2.35 (had to take them off though after a ride as they were 0.5mm too wide for my frame )

Excellent on the road. Took them off-road, albeit on fire roads. They climbed well and only lost a bit of grip in the corners if taking them too fast, which isn't surprising.

Crazy Bobs are great but a tight fit on most, they look and ride great if they will go on.

If not I also recommend WTF Grafitti SF, not the UK ones as they are more dirt oriented. Great and cheap.

I'm quite into these Geax tyres, just because they're available in white:

I definitely don't condone "grinding rails, curbs or coping" on a mountain bike, though.

Wow I suppose that tyre seems to inspire people to do stupid things like "ride brakeless and use my foot on my back tyre to stop" like one guy comments haha

 

[beagle]

Yeah, they're intended for street/park riding. You know, those lads that should just get a BMX.

(Have to admit my BMX is brakeless and I use the 'jam your foot in the back tyre' method of stopping too :shock

Can you still get Specialized Nimbus in 1.95?

We used to run these BITD and waited till it rained and had a go through the McD drive through on a 'lets see how far you can lean over before wiping out' stylee!
