40 PSI MTB slicks?????
So there I was, flippin' through the nashbar mag, looking for slicks for my wifes mountain bike, and I saw the Panaracer Hi road V, on sale for 15 each, reading 40 to 80 psi. I recieve them, and they read 40 PSI max. MAX!!!???? Anyone riding around on 40 PSI slicks? How slow is it? I'm thinking about throwing them on anyways just to see.

How about the link? To be 40psi max they must be baloon slicks for beach cruisers.

Re: 40 PSI MTB slicks?????
I have a pair of Maxxis Overdrives 1.75 on one MTB which sees occasional use on the road on weekends. These only have a rating of 50psi...and they are slow. On the plus side they are more comfortable than the Geax Roadrunner 1.25s (100psi) I've got on my commuter (a converted MTB with rigid fork and flat bar). These go fast, grip well and are lasting a reasonable length of time. I have also tried a pair of Serfas (can't remember which ones though) which also inflate to 100psi and these seem to be good as well. Maybe keep the Panaracers for those short trips.

Re: 40 PSI MTB slicks?????
Nope, I'm going to return them. I'm a speed demon on the streets, I run 25mm 'Dillos on my every day commuter(touring bike) at 125 psi, 40 psi aint going to cut it for me, or my wife. Good thing Nashbar is good about returned items.

As any cyclists who are into their sport enough to upgrade their own bike compenents, the mag is cool to look at; but I would always order online. Still, this is definitely their fault. Notice how the link you provided us clearly states "40 psi" and not the "40-80 psi" the paper ad did. |
