Lose control with fatter tires?

Im kind of surprised that no one has said to just get used to the tire

I recently switched from a 24 to a 26 and the tire choice was quite a learning curve for me. I had a duro on the 24 and that thing rolled like a dream for me. On the 26 it had a schwalbe wicked will 2.5 and it took me maybe 3 rides to get used to it and also tweaking with the tire pressure as well.

There is no such thing as wasting your money on a tire, you just have to find a way to apply the tire with your riding. Its amazing how just switching tube sizes can affect the ride of a tire. There are many things you can do to make a tire more comfortable I think.

Best of luck to you!

Getting used to a smaller tire and getting used to a tire that just doesn’t feel right are two different things (i have experienced both).
