| Aug 27, 2013 at 6:16 | comment | added | Nic | @mattnz: I obviously don't mean to do my "mild offroad" with skinny tires. I am exploring my tyre options without purchasing a new wheel. And yes I've ridden skinny tires on a former bike and yes, they are faster. I don't mean to open here the debate skinny vs. fat tires. But the weight gain of skinny tires does help quite a lot (and yes I know, rolling resistance is higher at comparable pressures). No I mean to ride tires on the skinny side for light daily commuting (little or no luggage at all), 32-ish for touring, and 38-ish for winter commute and mild offroad... | |
