The only problem with that is I struggle to keep up with my friends on their road bikes, all my efforts seem to go into the noise my tryes make :-) Will try out the slicks this weekend.

Hi, How much of a difference would it make putting on slicks onto my mountain bike when cycling on the road. With my current tyres (Kenda Nevegal, 26 x 2.1) on my GT Avalanche seems to struggle quite a bit on the road and makes a heck of a noise as well. If I get slightly narrower slicks, could I see an improvement in my performance? A friend of mine that has been cycling for years told me that it does play a big roll, but he has a road bike so does not know too much about mountain bikes. Thanks
