Very cool! ; I just got some Rubena V99 City Hopper Bicycle Tire with Anti-Puncture System and Reflective Sidewall (Black, 26x2.0-Inch) Tires, since my bontrager mtb tires just split down the Tread middle on the rear. I'm using my mtb as as a grocery haul and bike camping/ packing rig w both packing bags and or panniers pending feel and needs. . Any how, it's great to see there's other options out there, as I just looked for the highest rated and cheapest tire out there and landed on these Mitas tires; so fingers crossed works okay; as I'm a roadie at heart anyway. Kudos 👏

The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.

I basically ride a full suspension mountain bike not for trails, but urban commuting. I love the smooth ride it gives me, pot holes and uneven sidewalk slabs are a non event, I can just stay seated and pedal through it. I hate bikes where you can feel every little pebble and miniscule crack in the road, not my cup of tea.

"Everybody trying to keep safe distance from each other." I wish people wouldn't pass me while staying in the same lane and I have no room to move over. Sometimes there is no room, sometimes there is but dangerous holes or debris. I ride over the debris where I feel the bike can handle it when next to high speed through ways. People are nuts or it seems they don't care about others' safety.

@@Ar-cn9eo If all you do is ride road on a mountain bike, installing the thinnest tires for the rims is a cheap way to have a faster bike. You can even buy them slick with no nobs. Some people like doing this because they prefer the ergonomics of a mountain bike. Using fat nobby tires strictly on the road is pointless.

@@jakemccoy wider tires soak up bumps and vibrations. They can roll over more obstacles and are durable. I put 2" slick tires on an old 29er, and I can easily average 15 mph on the road. Obviously not as fast as a road bike, but way more comfortable and in control.

I chucked some Schwalbe Super Moto 29x2.4" on my Nukeproof Giga to help improve my fitness between trail rides. My usual Maxxis setup (F Assegai/R Minion) tyres are extremely aggressive and while they're great downhill they're a nightmare everywhere else. I wanted to get up bulk k's in between trail sessions to improve my climbs and the Super Moto are phenomenal tyres. Basically full slicks and I'm able to push out more k's for the same effort which makes the endurance training a lot more fun. Whereas I used to only do a couple of laps of my local area I can now ride all day. I got them on special for £22 (USD$28) each instead of the RRP £55 (USD$68) so if you keep your eye out you can pick up some at a bargain price too.

A bit late to this thread, but I have been using Schwalbe Johnny Watts tyres on my MTB's. Run 27.5" x 2.6" on one, and 27.5" x 2.35" on another. Really good tyres, not the cheapest but good wear, not too heavy and have yet to get a puncture on any of them. They look good too, with a big knobby tread but the knobs are big and flat and roll well on pavement.

Twenty percent of my riding is on gravel roads. I am not in it for speed or for thrills and jumps. Just a 2 hour evening ride every other day. High speed happens though because of the rider, the bike and mountain hills. From my experience I am beginning to think that tire pressure and width has more to do with traction and stability than tread design; except in sand and mud. Slicks only being good for pure speed and light weight on dry and clean roads. I have not had problems off road without knobbies but I do avoid mud and sand. I am currently looking to try a deep groove tire with a solid center strip to provide low rolling resistance. The grooves to provide bite through the layer of sand at the intersections on some of our rural roads.

I did the same thing when I bought my 2011 Cannondale F7. The Kenda Nevegal tires it came with had such an aggressive tread that made my bike difficult to ride because of the rolling resistance those tires had. I switched them out for Kenda Kiniption tires. The smoother tread made my bike so much easier to ride and since I never was going to go mountain biking on a $500 bike, I left them on and used it mainly for transportation around the city.
