Ouch, I imagine that will hurt for a while ! One of the most fun things about cycling to me is bike control & handling, and I like leaning into turns. Over the past year I've put 28 & 25 width Thickslicks on a couple of bikes. I've read here before the tread really doesn't do much when you only have that small amount of contact with the road. I'm rarely over 25mph, and live in flatlandia so high speed is not usually a factor in my situation.
Opinions on slicks ?
