Hi everyone.
I used to have a Mountain Bike with Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26" x 1.75 tyres.
About a month ago I bought a cyclocross bike for commuting (London roads) but I also want to do a triathlon next year so should start training on it.
The cyclocross still has the 700x35 knobbly tyres it came from, so I need to swap those for something that will be both fast/comfy for my commute, and fast for my triathlon training. I'm guessing I should go for 700x25 or 28, but coming from the really wide mountain bike tyres I'm a bit nervous of going to something that thin.
What do people suggest? Cheers
