Well, gravel or dirt roads I like something 40mm..or rails to trails type stuff I can get by with 32mm tires pretty well. I've used Compass stampede pass tires on the Roadeo for this or Pari Motos back when I had the Hillborne. Wider is cushier though...and more comfortable. For the actual

Longshot, but check your parts-box for rear derailers. The pin that stops the pulley cage from rolling back on itself is often screwed in, and I suspect might be the same thread. If you've got a banged up rear der that can sacrifice that pin, you might be done. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA

Widest tire that will fit my fork and chainstays, then just enough pressure to prevent pinch flats and rim damage in specific landscape. On a '90 MB-1 that's a big Schwalbe Dureme after trying Kenda Nevegal and old WTB tractor treads. Dureme:s are tough and roll easily where I like ro ride.
