If a trainer specific tyre can be classified as a slick , i have my mtb on the idt with no problems.... ( or is it to early for me ?)

If the current set up is knoblies with tubes then yes. If its tubeless then I would not bother and just ride as is.

I put slicks on after the mtb event last week for the cycle tour , noticeable improvement in road riding. Just feels a bit hard . New PR on all regular road segments on Strava

Just finished putting the slicks on my lady's bike, with some sealant just to give a bit of extra protection. for 27.5 wheels there is not a large selection of tires and tubes.

Done the Argus with both knobbies and slicks.  This year (my 10th) is first time on a road bike.

 

Slicks for sure.  

 

If he needs 650b - I have two from last year's Argus and 3 tubes.  1.4 I think they are.  Seriously, like R200 and they're his.
