I replaced the K270 front tire with a Shinko, S244 tire in size 3.00-18. It is my current front tire. It works very well, and helps to lower the saddle height a little bit.  I'm sure you will like this Shinko tire on your front wheel. |
Thanks for the awesome info Spud. Thats very good to know. Will be fun to compare the two side by side as we both ride them. One other question I wanted to ask you..you ride a lot of service and fire roads and have amazing pictures. When riding on those roads, what percentage of time are you standing vs sitting? I havent fully bought into the school of thinking that you need to stand 99% of the time when riding on gravel and dirt. But I dont know any better
