how wide are your new slicks? what size are they? the sidewall should have numbers you can see

as an example, my used mountain bike, also a "29er", came from the previous owner w/ 40mm tires & I went wider w/ 2.25" tires. I can probably put 35mm tires on it if I wanted to, but I have other bikes

my bike had these


now my bike has these
