Competent cx tires for trade, maybe

I have a Schwalbe Sammy Slick 35mm and Kenda Happy Medium 32mm (though really, both are practically 32mm) that I’ve decided are overkill for my commuter, especially with my plans for multi-surface commuting taking a backseat to sleeping in.

I’ve put maybe a touch more than 100 miles on them, so they’re in pretty good condition. Both are folding bead. Thought I’d check if someone has slicks in the 28-32 neighborhood, also lightly worn, that they’d like to trade for these very cromulent tires.

I have a set of Vittoria Randonneur White City Trekking 28’s that I’ve hardly used and would gladly swap.

Sounds groovy, more so if folding (space challenges in the apartment). The bike is in the shop right now, tires and all, so I’ll PM you when I have it again.

Not folding, although I find that hanging spare tires on the wall makes for nice decoration!

Honestly though, these tires kinda suck. They are super stiff and I really didn’t like riding them. I’m happy to let you try them out and if they work for you, great. If not, you can hang them on your wall!

Aw. These sound like my old Conti touring tires, which also were stiff and slower than they had right to be. I’d much rather stay with my cx tires.
