<p>Late last year, I scored some wheels with Tufo Flexus Cubus tires glued and ready to roll. Finally got to put them through the paces yesterday on some hard pack, loose dirt, wet grass - just about everything except serious mud.</p>

<p>Anybody have some insight as to what I might expect in terms of how tires with small block tread patterns tend to shed mud? Having never ridden small block tire before, I'm skeptical - the aggressive tread looks like it will bite, but i can see it…</p>

<p>FWIW, my initial impressions of this tire are very good - not as supple as other tubulars i've ridden, but these Tufos *HOOK UP* where some of the others would have left me with some nice grass stains and bloody knees. and they roll on better on the hardpack than I thought they would - not file tread fast, but not draggy either. I wasn't looking to change my tires, but the Flexus Cubus might get the call-up as the all-around-tire this year.</p>
