20k return commute to work, mostly on smooth bitumum bike path.
Not keen on buying a second set of wheels or swapping tyres all the time if I can avoid it - do MTB tyres wear quicker than slicks anyway when ridden on bitumum.
in other words, even if I buy a second set of wheels and that results in those tyres wearing and needing replacing just as much as I would have to replace the MTB tyres so no overall gain.
I am not interested in going faster in my commute and would actually prefer to be slower because that way I am safer for pedestrians and others on the path whilst still getting a bit of a workout myself. can't stand people who basically race on shared bike paths.
The bike path is next to a MTB area, and if the surf is rubbish would like to be able to take the long way home through the bush on occasions.
Thoughts anyone?
