Anyone in DFW Wanna Trade 26" Tires?
Not sure if this is cool to do in the Texas forum but here goes...I have two pairs of mountain bike tires, nothing fancy mind you, one is from a Trek 820- Trek "Connection" 26 x 1.95. These are black knobbies that have little wear. Also I have a pair of Specialized 26 x 1.95 which are also knobbies and have even less wear. The Specialized have white sidewalls (though not really white, more like very light tan or something).
I want to trade for something more road friendly and sized smaller like 26 x 1.5. I'm trying to fix my wife's old Hard Rock up to make it more accomodating for her.
Again, the tires I have are nothing extraordinary, they're the tires that come on entry level mountain bikes. I figured I'd rather trade them then add them to landfill. If you have use for both pair you can have one or both pair for your road friendly 26 x 1.95s pair.
Also, her Specialized Hard Rock "Ultra" (10 years old?) has a very aggressive geometry which does not suit her well. The handebars are totally flat. I plan to order a higher rise set soon. If you'd interested in trading for her flat bars hit me up on that as well. If I end up buying a pair I'll just offer to give someone her flat ones, no sense in needlessly adding to landfill :-)

I have the reverse situation. I have some Bontrager ComfortB slicks 26x1.50 on my Sorrento Diamondback mtb and want to go back to regular knobbies. They're good and make the bike fly but since I have a hybrid and a schwinn to do any roadwork. I want knobbies to let my mtb go back on the trails. I can have the slicks off by Thursday. They have 30 miles max on them. Eitherway they're coming off so maybe we can meet to see if you want them. I'll send a pm.

I'm all over it and just replied to you.
I'll take pictures of the handlebars I want to trade in the next day or so if anyone wants to trade bars.
