Tioga City
what is a good road tire for a mountain bike?
I need some slicks to ride to work. I usually use tioga city slickers because they are cheap fast and work on wet roads. does anyone know of a comparabel tire or maybe a better one. Also, is it better to use a separate wheelset for my slicks or just use the same a change out the tires?
I have an xt/mavic 717 disc wheelset with rotors sitting in my closet so I wont' have to purchase a new wheelset. I was just concerned about adjusting the derailer and calipers. I have to make some adjust ments when i put my new wheel set on but maybe that was becasue my derailer was bent. Ill have to try swapping again a see how smoothly it goes
Stick with the cheap tires; especially if you are just commuting and are not using them for performance. I personally use Forte City Slicks (26 X 1.5), which cost $8 each, and they work fine. The only problem is swapping the tires takes 1/2 hour per tire because of the tight fit.
If you continue to swap, you might consider a wider tire that doesn't stick to the rim. It might not roll as quickly, but it will save some time, and possibly wear & tear on your rim.
Ideally you would have a 2nd set of wheels because changing tires constantly wears out the tires & the rims. You'd be lucky to get off for less than $200 if you decide to go this route, more if you have disc brakes.
I personally would find a cheap used 2nd bike for commuting.
