I was given an old 2006 Trek 1000 and I've been working on replacing everything.
I just ordered a new Shimano Tiagra 4600 groupset last night and now I need to get wheels and tires.
The bike currently has 700x25c wheels on it, with a 23mm tire in the front and 25mm tire in the back. Both are completely flat and I haven't even ridden on the bike.
Here's pictures of the brake/frame clearance with all of the old components on. https://i.stack.imgur.com/qSPk0.jpg
I'll be commuting with around 25-30 pounds every day, ~70 mi/week on mostly flat terrain. I'm 5'9" and 150 lbs.
My priorities are:
- Reliability
- Speed
- Quick repair time
- Comfort
With that being said, what size tires should I put on new 700x25c wheels?
Thanks!
