Anyone using these as a fast summer tyre? Any comments?

like a less grippy crossmark... that doesn't seem to roll as fast.

hollyroller 2.4, im running one on the back (youd be brave to put one on the front).

I swear it makes the bike accelerate, nothing seems to hold it back! Just dont rely on the rear bake!

I run a monorail on the front and a crossmark on the back at the moment. Monorail for the front gives better braking in loose stuff (on baked hardpack a crossmark might be better but in loose they can be a handfull), the monorail also has a more pronounced 'edge' to dig-in when leaning the bike. It might be slightly slower than crossmark but still faster than an allround tyre.

I've just put them on my hardtail, I like them so far, fast rolling and very responsive, well compared to my nobby nicks.

i posted about them about a week ago do a search.
