i2 with knobbies vs x2
Hi, bumps and loss of traction trigger the safety slowdown on an i2 far more easily than an X2.
Since X wheels are larger and heavier than i wheels, you'll not have as much power on inclines if you are running them on an i, but you'll have 1-2MPH more speed due to the diameter.
On the X, you'll have a bit more oomf when running i wheels because they're so much lighter and smaller in diameter.
The incline slowdown is due to the fact that the X series was made for sporting, not commuting, and therefore, if you start going down a gravel/dirt hill too fast, your PT could potentially lose contact, be rendered uncontrollable, and eventually lead to a crash.
Also, congratulations on picking those up while they were on sale!
Cheers!
