All-round/GRoad tyres for a hardtail

[nzhumpy]

I like your idea of a pub bike.

Likewise, I'm actually watching one for sale atm in the hope of snagging a deal.

Old Niner, Richey etc great bikes with steel frames, drop barred or flat bar.

Agreed, I've got a couple of steel hardtails already but always had a soft spot for those Ritchey's.

I did last year's Cycle Challenge on Scorpions and they rolled really well.

Looks like I have to change the tyres.

Drop bar that bike and it will make a great grave/touring/adventure bike

Already got that role covered in the fleet.

Needs discs and 2.4 tyres.

Swung past a couple of bike shops on my way home last night. I decided the Grifter was too narrow at 2", so went with a Specialized Fast Trak/Renegade combo at 2.35", which'll allow to ride the gravel rail trail as well as bunt around with the kids on the bike paths

Reality is knobbies get chewed fast on the hard stuff. G-ones are super soft and you will chew them out in no time. If I had to pick something with a big knobed centreline would work. Something like a maxxis crossmark. otherwise if you don't need knobs, just go for a schwalbe big apple or something like that. otherwise just get something cheap and wire bead. Most of the cheap stuff on low end bikes actually roll well on tarmac.

I like Hutchinson Kraken / Skeleton for this. Have a solid centreline like crossmarks. Roll for days
