I keep thinking I should jump up to 28's, but I can't make myself pull the string, primarily because "that's what we've always ridden the tandem on".<br /><br />In my view, 32's wouldn't make much of a difference for you at all on the road, but you would know it (for the better) on that gravel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943563221520693631.post-12074243312137029822011-06-09T15:08:51.039-04:002011-06-09T15:08:51.039-04:00@ Easton Heights - 28's are small to me!

I run 28's on my pacer but am tempted to go a little wider just because I can.<br />I wish avocet still made the slick tires like they did in the '90s, those were great. fat true 28mm tire rolled real fast and cornered great.Easton Heights Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009143851904560547noreply@blogger.com
