That's assuming some climbing gears on the flipped side.

Probably put it so it's reversed on the lower gears, right? That way going up

I think DP is referring to off-road use with knobbies, where a directional
tread is more appropriate. I would agree that it probably won't slow you
down a whole lot, but that there probably is a benefit to having the the

No. It's marketing BS like lots of other things in bike tire land.
Tread is not beneficial for traction with bike

I don't know it's a huge deal either way, but with the flip-flop hub coming and
the gearing I will eventually run, I need to choose which way is oriented
properly for the rea
