Review on Experience Ultimate Performance with the Kenda Small Block 8 XC Mountain Bike Tire by Allen Tchida

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tire I just want it to come in 700x28

I was delivering a road bike with 700x23 tires when a snow storm hit Seattle. Going downhill was getting pretty scary, my brakes and rear derailleur froze and it was all a horrible day. . I finally put together a solution and mounted one of those little Block 8 (700x32) tires on the back and the snow and ice turned horrible rides into fun rides. Traction was amazing and when the roads are clear the tire isn't an issue. I left it on my bike and it makes my short rides on grass, gravel and dirt less annoying. I can't fit them to my bike as I only have a rear part of my repair and a skinny tire in the front (I think I could ride without brakes to fit one in the front but I use this bike for the control it gives me there, not as a silly anti-knee fashion statement) It would be the perfect tire if it came out in 700 x 28.
