So if I want to do a spot of commuting on the Evil, but it has silly EX325 rims which are super wide, what is the skinniest, most efficient tyre I can get on there? Can't decide if I want some sensible tyres or some altogether un-sensible Hookworms...
Advice? Cheers.
Do mean efficient as in super-speedy, low rolling resistance, or efficient as in not fixing a puncture every couple of days?
1.5 marathons?
Get some Schwable Big Apples on there, at a 2.0" I reckon. Super comfy and surprisingly fast.
I've got a pair of these;

big but still roll pretty fast.

Tough, punture proof, fast rolling, all weather, fit and forget. Slightly heavy, bit more expensive but worth it. I put one on the back as this is where I used to get the most punctures, but F and R would be fine. Do half tarmac, half canal towpath and roll through potholes, mud, gravel, you name it with no problems. Last ages as well.
I got a pair of Continental Travel Contact [url= http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/conticycle/ti%20travel%20contact.shtml ]HERE[/url]
Low rolling, but with some grip in the corners. Tough as nails. 1 year no puncture guarantee and come with free inner tubes.
Pair for £37 posted from Merlin.
I have nothing bad to say
