Hi,
I need to get hooked up with some tires for my 1st MB. Its a 2005 Specialized Hardrock Sport. I really know next to nothing about tires and bicycles for that matter but here is what I was thinking .... It's for a friction kit so my aggressive knobbies have to go. I thought some nice fat road tires would look great, and hopefully be very comfortable with good traction, and maintain a good bond with my 1.125" scrubber. Does this sound like the way to go?
My tires are stock as is everything else. The bike has been used once and stored for 3 years. I was looking at the maxxis hookworm online and it looks awesome. Should this be investigated further or should I be looking for something else? Is this a rear tire only, are are these like, ambidextrous? I only see one size in 26" its a 26x2.5. Stock tires are 26x2.20 ... any problems here you think?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions and thanks for the help.
