Howdo.
Appreciating that this may be a can of worms, and side stepping the 23 vs 25 vs 28 mm argument for a second, after 7 or so years of regular cycle commuting and some feature rich long distance work, I find myself potentially needing to source a 700x23c tyre.
...and I've never needed one before.
All of my stable are 26", 24", 20" recumbents, and I'm accustomed to buying Schwalbe Duranos as they're one of the few that seem to cover the range of sizes I need, and I can generally get them at ChainReaction.
But with a possible switch to a more common size wheel, I'm wondering whether durano are the way to go.... Lots more choice at this size... What are people's findings for a decent tyre? And by decent, I mean durable and fast.
What are people riding these days, and where do they get them?
For reasons that will become apparent later, a 25c is out. I'll accept a "pick any three" from fast, durable, comfortable and cheap.
Cheers all. Looking forward to riding some more conventional kit. If only 'cos I can cadge tubes off my mates.
