Questions - tyres and towing

[hebe]

Thank you! I was thinking of going for something less chunky so that's good to know. Sorry, I used the UK spelling

You can put slicks on the Hardrock. Does make a huge difference.

Thank you! I shall look into that.

Don't be sorry! It's quite fine for you to write that you "need some grey colour touchup paint 'cause you scratched your bike loading it in the boot of your car after you got a flat tyre when you went off the pavement to get around a pedestrian."

lol! Luckily there aren't many pedestrians on the shared pavements I ride!

Isn't that tarmac, not pavement?

But to answer the original question, yes, you can put hybrid tires on a mountain bike.

Our pavement is your sidewalk. Our road is your pavement. Confused yet?

I need to think hard about whether I'd rather tow dd to nursery or drive her there and do an off-road ride on my own. It's less than 2 miles round trip so I really ought to be towing her...

I might have a plan. I could move the Kenda Krossplus from the Marin to the HardRock - they are fine for light (not too muddy) offroad and they are faster on road. Then I can put some less chunky tyres onto the Marin.

I've moved the less nobbly tyres from the Marin to the HardRock, and put a set of CrossRoads onto the Marin. Looking forward to Monday when dd goes back to nursery and I can give both bikes a quick ride on their new tyres

My son's preschool is a two mile round trip and I occasionally tow him there and have thought about walking him there, but I'm actually afraid "Mr Independent" will try to do it himself so most of the time I drive him.
