Glad the tire topic came up. I need a pair of road tires for my Camber 29'er. Was looking at the Schwable Big Apple, but turned off by the weight.

Ideas? GO!

Are you running tubeless?

What I would do is get another set of wheels and have road setup and dirt setup.

A set of 700x35 cross tires or pavement tires fit fine. I have run 700x35's and 700x42 on my mtb for gravel races, they work ok on pavement.

I have a set of 700x35 Continental Speed king cross tires I can make you a deal on. They only have about 150 miles on them. I upgraded my cross bike to tubeless.

Stock tire replacement? I put a few hundred road miles on my stock rockhopper 9er tires. Don't be one of those fags with skinny road tires on a mountain bike. My kenda small block 8's grip well in the urban jungle, but they are soft and wear faster than my stock tires. No more full speed skids.

Who's got the hookup on mtb tires? Or a site with discounted tires? Looking for some replacement Specialized The Captain 29x2.2 and 29x2.0.

Take a look at the ground control tire. As much grip as a captain but faster. Just switched and I'm loving them.

You won't find a deal on Specialized tires, generally. Dorba members get 10% off at most local bike shops.

How fast can you ride a wheelie? I think that's more important that top speed

My bike wheelies really well.

Has anybody ridden those trails in rockwall off Lakeshore & 205?

Squabble Creek? Yes. Very easy trail, very tight and twisty, but fun for a novice. A great place for an intermediate rider to work on picking lines. Lots of cover from the sun, makes a good night ride too.

Again, still trying to figure out what relevance top speed has on a single track mountain bike course. its not a 1/4 mile drag race. Please explain.

ok, not sure what top speed has to do with anything but looking back at garmin data 21ish seems to be norm for northshore 24-25 at Horseshoe.

You might be able to hit a high speed but if you can not maintain it whats the point.

[TeeShock]

Our cruise control is usually 10-10.5 We can crank it up to 11.5 or so if need be, but I usually use this as a recovery ride after 2 hard 20+MPH road days and a 24-25 MPH crit on Wednesday.

Pace is irrelevant, I wanna know top speeds.
