Recently bought a Fuji Gran Fondo which came with Vittoria Rubino 30c. I was looking for a comfortable bike - planning to do some longer rides this year.
The bike is really comfortable- not sure how much the big tires are the difference vs. the geometry etc. But, 250 miles in and I got a couple flats, so it's time to go tubeless. On the tri bike I have Schwalbe Pro One 25c tires which I like, but I was thinking of going with the Conti GP 50s for the road bike.
I'm wondering, should I go down to 28c or up to 32c if I go with the Contis? The 30c tires I had seem big, but I keep reading that bigger tires are a good thing these days. Would the 32c tires be substantially slower than the 28c tires?
Any advice appreciated. I'm happy with tubeless on the tri bike and am 100% certain that I'm going tubeless on this one.
thanks!
