Most my riding is on pavement. Don't like the tires I have now (26x1.95 IRC Mythos XC Slick) so just figured the Hookworms would be more up my alley (big, heavy duty, smooth rolling 26x2.5). Guess it's more or less a question of weather or not they will fit my current rim (Mavic X139) and rear triangle (K2 Attack 3.0). I plan on getting a set of Rhyno Lite XL rims with XT Disc hubs probably next month (can't run rim brakes on my DJ2 fork) with a set of Avid Disc's in the following month or so. I'd like to have the tires now though.
