  i have a merida road race 903 and the tyres are like two rubber bands and i'm scared to death half the time. whats a tyre that i can get which has a bit more grip.

    Velogear is pretty light on for road tyres unfortunately, my only suggestion from there would be the maxxis detonator 28c. (http://www.velogear.com.au/products/Maxxis_Detonator_700x28_…) For $20 a pair its a great price for a decent tyre.
    If youre looking for something better/more expensive I'd recommend Continental Gatorskins as they grip great and in the many pairs I've owned I'm yet to get a puncture. Wiggle.co.uk is the cheapest for gatorskins afaik

      My current road bike came with detonator 32c tyres, had a bad run of punctures on them and changed to Panaracer Ribmo. No punctures since and onto the 2nd set.

      thanks for tip. i looked and i actually have the maxxis detonator. so its probably just because I am a spaz.

      Yep. Gatorskins are pretty darn good. I had a 700C/25mm set on mine, and I cracked the rim before the tyres got damaged. But if you're looking for a bit less Rolling Resistance, then look at the Continental 4000S.

      I've recently switched to a wide Marathon Supreme 32mm as the footpath ramps in my area are ridiculous and have already cost me a full wheel set :(

  What's a good pair of slicks for a mtb?

    If you want good, something like this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/vittoria-randonneur-pro-mtb-folding-… or some Continentals make a great commuting tyre. If you mean skatepark type slicks, either maxxis holy roller or hookworm will do the trick.
    The Kenda tyres on velogear ( http://www.velogear.com.au/products/Kenda_KWest_Tyre_26_x_1_…) re pretty average but will do the job if you just want cheap.
