Got a ride in today, about 25 miles on road 15 off. The off part was
was a big mix of conditions. Lots of sand, some sloppy wet, some
dry and fairly deep. Water everywhere from all the rain we've been
having. Here's my initial opinion. On road, squirmy, not very secure
feeling. That's the price you have to pay for having those big
knobs. Off road, fantastic. It was hooking up in anything I got
into. Lots of sand here in FL, so I think this combo is gonna work.
I really only ride the road to get to the trails. I can live with the
road manners for short jaunts. The tire height definitely changed
the gearing. Now I see why people change. I was doing 2nd gear
road starts with it stock, but not now. By the way I ran 12lb
front, 16 rear for the ride today.
