A few days back I got a good deal on a pair of 29″ x 2.2″ Kenda Slant Six<\/a> tires. I’ve been interested in these since they came out over a year ago, and finally having a chance to try them I first put one on the rear of my single speed Salsa El Mariachi<\/a>. Trying this out on a quick pre-rain ride at River Bends last night I found it to be a very nice rear tire; a bit grippier than the Small Block Eight<\/a> that it replaced, but without any notable additional rolling resistance. Being much better in greasy corners than the SB8 and a nice compliment to the 2.4″ old-style Schwalbe Racing Ralph<\/a> (now this tread pattern is called the Rapid Rob<\/a>) I think I’ll leave it on there for a while. I might even fit one on the back of the Titus<\/a> once I’ve got its rear wheel working correctly again. (It broke another spoke this past weekend and is desperately in need of a rebuild.)<\/p>\n

The only downside I can see to this tire is that at 700-some grams it’s fairly heavy, although I’m not too concerned about weight and don’t notice this very much. It’s also got rather pitiful graphics and a 90s throwback .com branding, but this is forgivable as it works well.<\/p>\n

(These are mounted on the Salsa Semi-based wheels that I built up in April<\/a>. This nicely wide rim has worked out really well this summer.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
