I am really enjoying my new to me '97 cro-mo stumpjumper. Having spent a couple of happy hours servicing the brakes and adjusting bits and bobs, I was even able to do a 7 mile ride with the kids at the weekend.
the bike came with fairly new knobbly tyres , which whilst they do their job, I would expect that most of my riding is going to be with the kids on roads and trails rather than proper mountain stuff.
On my last reasonable bike I had tyres which were smoothish in the middle and knobbly at the edges, which seemed to be a nice compromise and reduced the tyre roar at speed, whilst having a bit of bite for muddy days
I'd be grateful for recommendations for tyres that will be more suited to me mainly road /trail based use - my brother thinks he might have some slicks in his shed which I might give a try - will these stand up to light trail use?? and give enough grip on the looser surface of a trail?
