Hi Carl, just curious to how well the thumb shifters on the Mountain
Fury act. Have you had problems with them getting loose? I thought about
getting this bike and perhaps changing the tires to slicks. I didn't
like the seat on the Fury but I got a good saddle from my old bike.

I'm also curious since nearly all my riding will be on roads or dirt
roads, will slicks give a much smoother ride than knobbies?

Thanks.
