![]() ![]() You won’t see anyone riding a 32c (or a 28c) on the front of a TT bike. The aero effects of a wider tyre on the front are, however, easily quantified in a wind tunnel and they are real. Whether that vibration and movement matters is moot for stability. the accelerometer data would show less high frequency vibration for wider tyres at lower pressure. If you’ve ever ridden a TT bike on a gusty day with a 900 mm deep section on the front, you’ll know that there is a limit to rim depth (and why 900 mm front wheels are relatively cheap second hand!). Posted 2 months agoĭisc is on the back behind the seat tube. But they are super comfortable and you’re not really giving up much speed, a little bit more weight maybe, but take your pick in what’s important for you. Also need to remember that the people saying wide tyres are just as fast tend to be the people selling wide tyres. Loads of people will say Renee Herse has proven wide tyres are just as fast….as someone who really likes wide tyres, I’m not 100% convinced in this. ![]() I’d never race in anything over 28mm, but that’s because for the crits I do/did it’s just not needed. I’m enjoying being a tad slower and having the comfort of the wider tyres. All of these tyres are quick enough and will be quicker than the Gravel Kings SK, but they’re not as quick as the 27mm tyres on my “fast bike”. Never had any issues racing or training in all weathers.īut….I also have 32mm Challenge Tyres and also 38mm Rene Herse. I love my 27mm Challenge tyres, and being honest, set up tubeless they are fast and comfortable. Depends on what you’re after really, for race level speed then 25 to 27mmm. ![]()
