[bikeqld] Differences between 1.75 inch tyre and 1.25 inch tyre?

[Anthony Lee]

Hi all,

I've been riding to work on my Cannondale F7 MTB. I got it when it was on special from Epic. It is a nice bike
but I just find it heavy to ride to work compared to my road bike. Stupid me, I bought some 1.75 inch tyre from
Torpedo7 ages ago. The same tyre are now on sale again for $9 each. They have sizes as narrow as 1.25 inch.
Would I necessary feel less effort using the 1.25 or MTBs are just so heavy that I might as well just stick to riding
with my 1.75s? Any suggestions? Thank you. Oh the 1.75 I have now are slicks.
