Peewee1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Continental slick at the back, Maxxis wormdrive up front for Urban riding, used that setup when I was commuting to work in the UK...very fast and works really well. Worm drive wire bead feels quite heavy though, I think its discontinued but they got a bunch of other options now. Used the wormdrive at the back for a while doing the winter trails - that worked very well too, just less plush than a normal MTB tire, but it did expel mud well and made way for alot less rolling resistance.

CRC has stock of the wire bead tyres.They have gone up a bit in price.I bought a few sets when they were 12 euros a tyre. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28278 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacho! Posted July 11, 2011 Share Slicks spoil the look of a MTB for me, it's like putting track performance tyres on a hardcore 4x4. Then again it all ends in the line of the most practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh the slicks does look odd IMO but the semi-slicks looks quite normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted July 11, 2011 Share Can you do that with any semi- slick tire? I did with the wirebeads,only did it because i didn't have spare tubes.I have had no problems so just kept them like that.Running them @ 2.8 bar though,but can go harder.

Ranga Posted July 11, 2011 Share Do you only ride on tar? No defenitely not! I use the slicks for Amashovashova race from PMB to Durbs and for training every now and then when i cant get onto the dirt. I prefer to use a slick for tar and a proper dirt tyre while off road, a compromise for both is never ideal, IMO. Doesnt take long to change over. Maybe look at getting yourself another set of rims.
