Hi Alll

Many thanks for any advice

    23c will work, but modern science/consensus is that wider tyres are not only more comfortable (provided you run them at lower pressures) but also faster, with less rolling resistance and smaller losses over poor road surfaces.

    25 or 28 seem to be the standard tyre widths these days. Some are moving to wider still.
  • Thanks.I'll have a look about for some good 28s
