    Default Fellow friction riders check this tire out-

    Fellow frictioneers-
    I tried this tire out from wally and it worked great. I used the 5x thicker slim filled tubes and this tire and the ride was excellent. It gripped really good..better than a knobby tire thats for sure!! I have tried all the tires from walmart and this one is the best.

    That tire will wear fast, not enough surface area in contact with the roller.

    I'm not sure why this would be focused on FD bikes. If anything, this would be a crappy tire for FD. With that fine jagged center tread, the roller is going to create a ton of friction trying to turn it. I wouldn't use this on a FD bike.

    Good find. I had only seen that tread on 20in tires. I will try them on my chain driven motorbike.
