thanks mox,
I had put a set of rubino pro slicks on my one bike, thinking that I have mondo pro slicks on the other - this will be cool. I do not think that all slicks are created equal. I think the rubinos are much better, they ride wickedly fast and have a different profile compared to the mondos. ok wickedly fast? - they just seem to be a more crisp handling tire - maybe one that I am not ready for yet. Hence, pull them off and use them at a later date, possibly on the other bike and go with something a little less radical for now. The zaffiros (not pro) that were on the bike did seem a little squishy?, but I may just put those back on. I'm glad I got the rubino pro slicks at almost half off, especially if I'm thinking about putting them in the closet for a while!!
thanks.
