My ride came with Vupine standard and these tires shine in the dirt. Also decent rolling on asphalt. Vulpine S, I expect roll even better on asphalt and hardpack. Likely ware better also if asphalt is often part of your riding. A similar tire is the pathfinder pro. Also a great tire.
So cool seeing you make this frame work out! Definitely seems like the frame would be worth it for someone on a budget!
As long as they keep their budget in mind.
Are they faster than the GK slicks?
Slightly. It would be interesting to compare both in the same size. It could be the butt dyno effect as well.
Do the WTBs roll any faster? Looking for a tred that is fast on pavement while still providing some gravel traction.
@@NCtrailX Slightly, they also do not feel like they have drag when cornering.

@@matthewkramer8613I've considered those.
what's with that frame - is the BB that low or did you install some crazy long cranks??? It looks like you'd be hitting roots on any non paved road...
@lechprotean 170mm cranks. The geometry charts are on the internet.
who did paint job sharp
@@antmo3353 I painted the bike. Thanks.
