Sigh. Well, let’s just say it’s an improvement.
Today I changed the 26×2.0 off road tires for some 26×1.5 road tires on my SS. The improvement is huge actually. There was nothing wrong with the tires, in fact I’m keeping ’em. They just rolled like a cement truck on the road.
Unfortunately I couldn’t see my way clear to buy really good tires, so I’m hoping the cheaper ones I picked up last a few hundred miles at least.
They are Geax Roadsters which are not the bottom of the food chain but nearer to it than my Specialized Nimbus Armadillo tires. I figure I’ll probably upgrade as necessary, but I had to get those dirt tires off. Besides, the Geax have “Aramid” compound which sounds a bit like something made from ground up spiders.
Besides the improved ride, the tires have bright yellow writing which fits right in with the color scheme. 🙂
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
