I recently picked up some 700c Nextie rims w/ a 25mm internal rim width. The plan is to run these primarily on my gravel bike but also my MTB for some XC races. I currently have a set of 650b Nextie wheels on my gravel bike w/ a set of Compass Switchback Hills (48mm). This setup is sweet but definitely a bit sluggish for quicker group rides.
What would be the smallest slicks that I could run on the 700c setup? I am not looking for anything smaller than a 28 but just want to make sure I'm not going to kill myself with a 28 tire on a 25mm internal rim.
