| Slicks OK on the touring bike - If so, what kind? I have a Trek 520 that occasionally rolls on gravel roads (slowly/carefully) and Iıd like to change out the 700x32c Conti Top Touring 2000 tires for some road slicks. Would the slicks suck on these roads? If I decide to just stay off the gravel entirely, what kind of slicks can I then use? Thanks. -- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ O ALERT: Please help a friend find ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ / / his abducted son by visiting: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ // [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ŻŻŻŻŻŻ İ"""""""""""İ Thanks. |

From that article, I gather that the bike will ride on gravel just fine if the tires are slick. It does leave open the possibility that slicks might have less traction on surfaces that are softer than the tire - But gravel is a combination of harder and softer surfaces. So I am going with the "OK for slicks on gravel" mentality. What kind (size, type, brand, etc) of slicks would be right and/or preferable for my rims? -- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ O ALERT: Please help a friend find ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ / / his abducted son by visiting: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ // [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ŻŻŻŻŻŻ İ"""""""""""İ Thanks. |
