Hi all,
I've been biking into work for a while now, on my Kona hardtail with
Schwalbe CityJet slicks. Very good - no major problems. The only point
of note is that the grip on them can give way very quickly when
cornering at any speed. Essentially, I guess once I hit the edge of the
actual grip, it just goes sideways, which can be disconcerting. It's
more pronounced in the wet, but just as alarming in the dry....
Question is - are there slicks out there (for a 26" wheel) that grip
better? Essentially, I guess with the grip spreading further round the
tyre profile... Bit difficult to explain, but I've done a detailed
ASCII diagram below.... ;c)
