Opinions on tyres are like arseholes. Everybody has one, and they are all different!!!

Chatsworth has it right. Loads of people recommend them but I didn't get on with them, they seem to have better braking grip and a wee bit more bite on roots, but they tramline something rotten along ruts etc, or so I find. Also the 2.1 comes up a little narrower than a Nevegal. And the 2.35 feels slower than a Nevegal to me.

If you fancy giving it a try I have a 2.35 and a 2.1 Stick-e Blue groove in the garage which I'm not likely to use again, which would be for sale if I wasn't so lazy... Feel free to make me an offer ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'll fish it out tomorrow and have a look, I can't remember how much wear it has on it. I've a feeling I might be looking for a bit more than that, but I'll check it out, I think it's almost as new.

All tyres are ok for the level of riding we all do, just pin it and get on with it, when they are bald, keep riding and learn to push your limits and dont worry about all this crap.
Some of the fastest riders i have ridden with have been on bald tyres riding off the brakes through mud, rocks roots and just flat out.
dont worry about it all.
