Rode them for the first time today 30 psi mixed terrain. Windy morning and my last ride was Sunday on 28's so rolling on pavement felt sluggish, even on smooth gravel I felt sluggish. Single track and technical terrain was great. Huge advantage over the Maxxis Ramblers. Which is great. This is what I was looking for. It was nice to roll over roots and branches that I would normally avoid. This will be a good tire to hang with MTB riders around here. I was also worried it would make my Ramblers obsolete but now I realize how fast of a tire the Rambler is.
It'll be interesting to see how often I use these. I think any ride where I'm spending a lot of time on single track or more technical terrain these will be great. If its a mix of smooth gravel and pavement the Ramblers will be put on.
I realize that any of these tires are a luxury, fun to play around with them and have some options. I think with these, 40c Ramblers and 28c road tires I'm set.
Thanks for the advice guys!
