Last year I went from the 32mm Compass Stampede to 25mm Continental Grand Prix 4000S on rims that are 22mm wide. It's a relatively fast tire that is still comfortable and allows me to ride the same size tube as my riding buddies. This past year I really rode the Roadeo as a kitted up club rider, so not the average Riv rider with that bike and sharing some of the same equipment has been helpful in the past. The bike holds it's own set up like this on fast club rides provided I haven't let my fitness go.
This year I got a new set of wheels which are 24.5 mm wide (outside dimension) at the rim with a 20.3 beat seat width and I will be running tubeless just to try it out. I haven't decided on a tire but I'm thinking about the Schwalbe Pro One. On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 at 9:07:06 PM UTC-6, Don Compton wrote: > What size are you using?
