Put some semi slicks on it. Tyres make a massive differnece. Barzo/Mezcal combo is great and they come in 2.6.

Good shout. Seem good value as well, £13.99 a pop.

The Minion / Rekon combo was super draggy. Ended up pumping them up fairly hard, which kind of defeated the object of the tread pattern and having plus tyres in the first place. Never had a slip or sketchy moment with the minion up front at Afan and winter Leigh Woods, but that just makes up 10% of the riding I do.

Intriguing. Thinking about morphing my 27.5+ Sentier into something a bit more XC oriented, even pedalling three miles to Leigh Woods is a real drag on it.
