I have 2 sets of tires for my MTB, the original Bontrager 26x2.2 which I use for off road, and Maxxis Detonator 26x1.5 for road use.

1.5 is pretty ok. You'll need to get both the tires and the tubes. I remembered paying around 150-170 (can't remember the exact amount) for mine (2x tires and tubes)

Check the valve too. You'll want to get the same valve type that your Kenda tube uses for your road tire tubes as well.

Thanks bro for feedback .. 1.95?

If you're wanting to get road slick tires, then you're likely to be wanting something lighter and faster that you can use on the road. So might as well get something  slimmer like the 1.5. 1.95 is still kinda big.

I don't notice any difference in difficulties in handling when I first used the 1.5, but its noticeably lighter than the 2.2 knobby tires.

Okey , will note that bro ..

Yeah, seen the 1.25 used on a MTB rim. But even on the 1.5, I've already need to swap the tubes. Not too sure about the fit of the 1.1 though

lets jus hope your family ain't those door kicking type or your bike will get door banged all the time... dinged up frame and stuff...

i do remember 1.1 will require a narrower rim if you are capable of running 2.5s..
if memory serves me well which it doesn't most often. 1.75 and 1.5 are the same tube and 1.25 will be a totally different tube...

what abt 1.95 size guys ? different tube w my current one (Kenda Small Block Eight, 26 x 2.1 )

most of the time 1.9 shares the same tube as 2.1.
but best to check what is said on the box before you buy...
as an example you can see here..
http://www.kendausa.com/en/home/bicycle/bi...ycle-tubes.aspx

they will write like 26x1.9/2.125 for both 1.9 and 2.1.

Thank .. that clear thing up

QUOTE(malleus @ Jan 4 2012, 08:06 PM)
Out of curiosity, why 1.9, and not something thinner?
*
just thinking something in between ..


Anyway .. today one shop offer maxxis 1.5 size + tube + installation for Rm178

no pictures of naked bikes allowed... all must be covered with a bike cover.
why lightweight wheelset on mountain bike... tak tahan lasak rite? stans ZTR paired to CK or I9 hubs laced with DT white spokes...
for the lack of pictures....

roadbike or mountain? if mountain disc or v brake?If v brake clean the surface of the brake pad and braking surface.Same goes to disc.Clean the rotors.

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 7 2012, 02:21 PM)
if rim brakes, the noise can be reduced by toeing in the brake pad by a bit.
other wise check for oil on the rotor or rim and pads or signs of wear and warpped rotor

any helmet is good from a safety point of view...
the question is... size aside..
1) does it look good on your head
2) does the color matches your jerseys
for me
3) is the ventilation holes enough
4) can i afford it???
might not be RM180 over here... just call them up and check first.. best to do research online before you go... that damn place is jam shit packed with lunchers at this hour...

i prefer somethg like recon 661 / fox flux w rear extension ...
