Ha! Well, they do say perception is reality!

Like I said, there are slow riders on light tires...on roadbikes... in 'pace lines'.

I'm sure you can come up with all sorts of anecdotal tales of MTBs crushing roadies, but the fact is, a strong rider on a 26" knobby would be even faster on a light slick, or do you know deny that, too?
