On my Cannondale Bad Boy 2 I have some 700/28 Schwalbe Kojaks and I dont really like them they feel very wooden, so what tyre could I go for as upgrade and perhaps a smaller 25cc too. A good road rolling road speed will help as well.

Cheers

    Just swapped out Schwalbe Marathon plus ad replaced with Gatorskins - bl@@dy ell!!!!
    Feels like my bike has an engine on it now - amazed at the difference, I know they don't offer the same protection but I think I'll be sticking with them

    Well I have a pair of Gatorskins 25cc's in my garage a tad narrower I know so I might try them? as you say they might not offer the same protection but the roads are not bad where I live.

    Gatorskins you cant go wrong, just make sure there pumped up.

    I prefer Duranos to Gatorskins, better in the wet and apparently more puncture proof.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I run Schwalbe Marathons on my winter bike and they take forever to get up to speed, they weigh a ton. I can't say enough good things about the Specialized Roubaix 23/25 tyres, very light and I've yet to puncture one. They work well in the wet too.

    Well I have tried to love these Kojaks that I have on my bike at the moment but I think they will have go. I'll chuck them in the back of the garage for spares?
