1.75 is insanely narrow, i would never ride it That Bikeflat website is all about attention whoring, and posting videos about themselves every 5 minutes. Personally, shut the shit down for all I care. | |

I have 1.75 in the front and love them. The only con would be if your jumping and have to land the foot on the tire you have a small area, and scuffing reasons. You get use to it though I still keep 1.85 in the back though. No pain No gain -Kyle G | |

A tire is only $15. It's one of those things you can try, and if you don't like it, it's not like you've spent a lot of money. It's worth the risk. I'm ordering two tomarow. If I don't like them, oh well.  | |

Im thinking they would feel really nice. any cons to riding 1.75 tires? 1.75 was the ultimate back in the late 80's when I was riding. Any bike I build now will definitely have them on it.

1.75 tires are very responsive, 1.85 are slower and more stable. You have to get used to the small size and quick reaction. I use a 1.75 ACS rear and 1.85 front. I ran a 1.75 in front and didn't like it for scuffing. If you want a superfast, very low rolling resistance than 1.75's are the way to go. | |
