did the winter tyre switch up a week or two back, new wired kenda nevgals front and rear, also replaced a front inner tube with a burly DH tube, cause it was lying around and the old inner was a bit knackered
i've probably added 500g to the front wheel and the bike feels so much less nimble, the front end feels weighed down with an anchor, popping wheelies difficult, gonna remove the front tube and tyre and go back to a new folding nevgal and lighter inner tube to try and get that sweet front end feel back, keep the rears as is cause they feel nicely planted , beefy and grippy at back
similar happened on a commuter when i added schwalbe marathon pluses made the bike feel so much less agile and cumbersome
