The thing I disliked most about the Biancas was the on road grip, or lack there of. The are covered in little ribs. After some pretty hairy braking experiences where it loses grip in a very on off way, I called them, "ribbed for my displeasure".

Weird to hear that. I've been on the 36mm TL version for six months, on long rides, in snow/rain, on gravel.. no issues at all. Love them.

Interesting,
I also have the 36.
I was wondering if my set had expired or something like that. Like it was sitting on the shelf for so long that the compound hardened.
Once the ribs wore out and there was a slick surface in the middle, then I had the grip I was used to having.
Not sure I want to try another set. Maybe will give the Panaracer GK Slick a go.

That would be my next choice if I wasn't happy with these. Some friends have the GK slick and they rave about em. For what it's worth I run the 36c Biancas at 55/60psi for ~85kg combined bike/bag/dork weight.
