Oh, nearly forgot the most important bit..

Make sure u line up the tyre brand or model with the valve stem before u seat the tyre on the rim..

Tried to block out the placebo effect of 'i'm riding on different tires i must over analyze everything' and bike rode very well, and was nice to have properly inflated tires, plenty of speed to be had and managed to throw it about without even thinking about it on the twisty bits, had to soften my front shock up slightly to compensate for the higher tire pressure, made it ride nice tracked well and was on the brakes a lot more ?

Put 24 miles on them xc type stuff locally on Sunday morning, they roll very well indeed, they feel much faster than my high rollers?and we hit some pretty fast spots zig zagging through tight trees at speed on dusty hard surfaces and they were good. The 2.35's are massive looking too with a large footprint that really lets you lay the bike over at speed in the corners

Not sure if its related or not but i have noticed that when riding down slight hills i have to keep dragging the brakes to stay with others and also watched people in front pedaling when i don't need too to maintain speed, oh and i keep knocking off personal bests on Strava ?

Sounds like paranormal activity to me. Or has somebody of attached a small motor to your bike without you noticing?

Why I ask about rolling resistance other sites reviews said about they roll slow on the road and dry woods (Tacky)
I don't need anything to slow me down more :wtf:

I'll have some of that then if made unityjon even more faster.
Half0rds.£21.59 :thumbup:

I'd get some Laser. Was considering them for my next purchase. My brother swears by them and is certainly fast enough. £18.35 for British Cycling members :)
