I have a 21-inch (Adult Size) Mountain Bike "Mongoose -DXR". (bought at Wal-Mart). However, mostly I ride on road, which gives me lots of resistance due to wide tire (26 X 1.95)
If I put a ‘Slick Tire’ (26 X 1), will it help in the following aspect?
1. Will it make my ride Faster, with 'Low Rolling Resistance'?
2. Does ‘Slick Tire’ (26 X 1) go "Flat" too often? (With rubber "wore out" too quick?)
3. Whether putting ‘Slick Tire’ in a Mountain Bike causes me 'discomfort' in riding (since mountain bike are made with different frame geometry, not for road but for ‘off the rode’ riding)?
Please advise me, since I have very limited knowledge on this.
