Cross tires - i need some grip on asphalt for crissakes
I see the last discussion for cross tires dating back to 2002 so I
might be safe here. The scoop is this: I don't want to trash my Road Race 2 Pro on fireroads and would like to buy something like the maxxis wormdrive that came bundled with my Merida Speeder T3 except with SOME GRIP on asphalt. I can easily lock (and slide) the front Wormdrive on asphalt and it's unacceptable to me. Even lesser slicks than RR2P won't do that (I think). Is there some discussion for semislick cross tires grip on pavement that I missed? Should I just take my chances with RR2P offroad maybe dropping pressure to 80-90psi and keep the fingers crossed? Mavic 22 rims seems to be abuse resistant, but I have a hunch that where I live now the replacement inexpensive rims would be very hard to find should I manage to trash either one of the two. The fattest the bike would take are 35x700s I think. The wormdrive is 32x700 and the rr2ps are 25x700. Thanks. |

I have done a lot of dirt road riding on racing bikes and racing tires. It works, they wear out pretty fast no matter what surface they're on. Have to take it a little easier obviously. It's not as well-suited as a cross tire but it works, and it's fun. |
