This came up in my feed this morning ?!
Sensibly priced and 25 mm tyres .. I think ? . Good luck with the sale
23mm old skool. I left that detail out ![]()
£600, or £500 with a free 12 month subscription to Tritalk premium
It’s only 10 years ago I thought using 25mm tyres was ‘out there’ and only for the roughest of roads. As it was most frames wouldn’t have taken any wider. How things changed in the following few years as disc brakes became popular. Even my 2017 Endurace will take 32mm officially and 36 shoe-horned.
People talk about millimetres of tyre width like it makes any fucking difference. It’s nuts.
Like crank length ![]()
Handlebar width.
Alloy frame
23 mm tyres …
2026 uk roads …
Saddle height
frame geometry
tubeless or not
clearly none of these things make any difference and we should all be riding Reynolds 531 with Shimano 7 speed
These things are not the same fruity!
fairy nuff but it’s interesting what changes, had 19mm tyres on my 1997 Scott Waimea, aka boneshaker
Kind of think that wasn’t the best choice looking back, but didn’t know any better
Current bike has 28mm rear and 25mm front
and the front end is waaaaaaaaay higher- back then low was king, remember speaking to one guy at a (local sprint) race who put on a 24 inch front wheel so he could get super low, that bike looked so badass.
I started on 23mm tubes tyres at 120 psi now I’m commuting on 32mm tubeless at 60 psi - it makes no perceivable difference at all to me, despite all the online bleating about how it’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened on Gods green earth.
It’s just riding a bike!
Correction, I started on a Budgie. Or something with solid tyres.
