I'm thinking of getting some kenda slicks for my hardtail MTB bike, anyone else do this? will I look weird?
I have 2.0s on atm and the slicks would be 1.5, im doing this as im looking to do a lot of miles on nothing but concrete

    I have slicks on an old bike, but I have no idea whether or not you look weird.
    I don't do smileys.

    How's about some 1.75's as a compromise - viewtopic.php?f=40092&t=12920924

    I have a hack bike running 1.5's and my commuter (Hybrid frame and MTB components) runs them as well.....you won't look any more or less weird on them than you will on knobblies

    Does it really matter how you look?
