These are known as "urban", "commuter" or "touring" bikes and serve people who actually use bikes day in, day out, year round to get from one place to another. (Not to be confused with "cruiser bikes": bicycle shaped props for nostalgic escapades.) | |

It's the squirming of all those rubber knobs that are constantly being bent out of shape. You haven't made a fair comparison with, say 1.95" or 1.75" smooth, "road slick" tires on your MTB. | |
