seeing as my new bike is far to big a gift to ask of anyone for christmas, Im settling for upgrades...
this set me to thinking of what kind of tires i want for XC racing, of my two friends who race one swears by using 1.8(or even 1.7) with minimal center tread, the other jsut uses the same tires that he would for recreational riding
I am thinking that thinner tires(no smaller than 1.8) with light tread in teh center but heavy tread on the sides(for better cornering) would be ideal for XC racing, but then again, I have no real expierience besides expirence with 2.0's and some basic physics...any advice?
