MTB Slicks

It's been 10 years since I rode a slicked up MTB. What's new?

I'm looking for some fat, slow tyres to fit onto what look like standard presta-tubed wheels (not tubeless or anything funky).

Any alternatives to Hookworms?

Get some Schwalbe instead? they have a good range of fat tyres to go for, one is the Big Apple.

Big Hank look cool.

panaracer ribmo for speed.
schwable marathon for anti-speed

If it fit.

I wouldn't run Marathons again. Something a bit more supple.

Specialized Fatboy would be an appropriate one..

The Inbred has Nobby Nic (2.25 or 2.4 not sure) fitted at the moment and still has a good amount of clearance.

i can recommend schwalbe crazy bob or kenda kiniption. I'd love to try the spesh fat boys

Schwalbe Fat Frank

hehe. can't argue - they're like sandbags!
I thought you wanted sloow = heavy.
Ribmos are awesome, but only got folding up to 1.75 only iIrc

The Fatboys was what everyone ran in Melbourne. Except me, who opted for teh stupidly expensive but fast (and RED) S-Licks. :)

They're heavy but they also ride like shit. I guess I want fat but not tank tracks.

surely there's a ton of 'park' tyres now that mountain bikes have decided to come to skateparks? something like http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/michelin-wild-run-r-slick-mtb-tyre/rp-prod48134?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom&gs=1&gclid=CLKvorqL0MICFSbHtAodgGAAfg&gclsrc=aw.ds

Only 1.4 though. "We need bigger slicks!"

schwalbe crazy bob

dmr supermoto

KHE Mack 2 Park 26"

Nah, go for Big Apple, I've had both, the Big Apple feel nicer to ride for the same size.

"Inflated to around 2 Bar" ? Really? That's like 30psi?
30-55psi and 780g a piece? I'm not sure I want to go that slow.

30psi on 60mm is like 100psi for 23mm tyres.

You're already going slow with a fucking MTB.

Schwalbe Kojak is a pure slick (no thread). Available as 35mm and 50mm in 26"

30psi on 60mm is like 100psi for 23mm tyres.

780g is still 780g

You're already going slow with a fucking MTB.

I'm never slow.

30-70 psi and 460g for the 26x2

780g is still 780g.

The Marathon Plus in 28mm that you use to ride on is 750g.

780g for a 60mm wired tyres is fine, if you want lighter, look at the Super Moto which is the lighter version of the Big Apple.

Also;

I'm looking for some fat, slow tyres.

Despite contrary, you really can't have your cake and eat it.

I can and will. I've got some options now anyway so it'll depend on what i find in shops and if i find nothing I'll order a random set online.
