Hi, I ride a hybrid which is used regularly for my commute to work. My tyres are the ones which came with the bike which i bought last summer , 700 x 37C. During my commute i ride along loose gravel and ash footpaths and public footpaths for the most part. My question is , now that i need to consider replacing the tyres what would the benefit be ( if any ) in fitting 700 x 42 size tyres ?.
I have recently had to have my rear wheel trued for the second time after snapping spokes and am wondering if the gravel and sometimes pot holed surfaces are causing damage.
Also would a cyclocross tyre be more beneficial to me ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
