Dammit
I find the Minion SS roll well and also dig in through corners. There's not a great deal of braking grip available, but then I'm not going fast enough to need it most of the time. All tyres are going to be a compromise if you want to keep some cornering ability, and I'm not going to compromise the off-road performance (any more than it is already) of the 529 to make tarmac easier. Hence thinking about a different type of bike. And also because I still want a Slate.
