When you're dead, you're dead
My current bike runs Mavic Cosmic Elite clincher wheels with Continental GP 4000 s II tyres in 25mm width. However being an impulsive guy today I splashed out on a set of nearly new (current model) Planet X 50mm tubular carbon wheels with a 22mm width. They are fitted with brand new Continental GP 4000 s II tubular tyre in 22mm.
I didn't realise it was 22mm until after I bought them. Now when I have run 23mm clincher tyres previously I hate them compared to 25mm clinchers. So much harsher on the road. Is the fact that these new ones are 22mm tubular going to more than compensate for being skinnier? By that I mean how do you think the new set up will compare to my current set up?
I've never even ridden tubs before. Have I made an impulsive mistake or am I going to be surprised?
Any experience shared will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
