Hey all. I have some cheapie Innova 26x1.25" slicks for making my XC HT a commuter.
Two problems with the wire bead:
1. Bloody heavy
2. I'm spoiled by my kevlar XC tyres and the ease of removing them. Removing the slicks is such a chore, especially when I want to change them over to my knobbies to do strange things with my MTB like, er... MTB.
Apart from that I love riding around town on the slicks. So, any recommendations? I'm guessing that the 1.25-1.5" width range would be best. Most importantly. I'd like something that is easy to remove.
Also, does anyone rate the hybrid-type grooves like on the Maxxis Detonator, or do you prefer proper slicks? I've found my completely slick Innovas to be fine.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: also, I know that this isn't the for sale section, but if anyone wants to buy my Innova slicks for the price of, say, postage and a sixpack, then PM me. They've got 90+% tread left.
