Slick fat, bald tire???

Dogbowl 21 April 2005 02:06:22
 
Can anyone reccomend a really fat, slick, almost bald tire? For a 26
Nimbus--I already have a knobby duro leopard, but here in the city it's
a bit much for some one at my (yes, I admit it) crummy level--I also
have a Hookworm, but it's so grippy that it almost has a mind of it's
own--I feel like it wants to send my nose into the gutter whenever I get
go9ing on it. I also just don't like the "feel" of it. I have a
whitewall semi knobby from K-Mart that is OK, but it just feels too
small. I like the mass of the 3-inch duru, but I also think that it's
weight might be holding me back.

Does this dream tire exist? A 26X3 (or almost 3) that has a lot of give
and take, a bald and slick tire that will help me on my bumpy road to
unicycle nirvana?

Thanks,

dogbowl - rides a 26", but dreams of a coker!

All I want out of life is to be able to ride the unicycle while smoking
a cigar at the same time. Is that too much to ask for?

You want the Big Apple. Very nice ride characteristics. It's not as
fat as the Hookworm but it's probably better on roads.

as they say: ultra wide, ultra glide
keep in mind i've never tried it
BUT it looks like really comfortable for cruising and for gliding (i
wish i could do that)

26"
Heck, I would go down to Walmart and pick something up under $10.

I've owned both the Kenda Flame and Hoggy G. in a 24" size.
I prefer the Kenda Flame, it tracks quite a bit straighter than the
Hoggy G and is actually about 1/4" wider
