What are the advantages of thinner tires? I currently have a hybrid with 700x40c tires. I ride to work in NYC and I ride the central park circuit. Will thinner tires give me more speed? Are they more prone to flats. What width would you recommend?
Thanks
I have a couple of mates with flat bar road bikes (hybrids), they took the wide 28mm tyres off (19mm rims) and now run 23x700 Conti Ultra Gator Skins, wow!! :eek: You will have to be more careful on loose stuff.
Your rims may be 25mm wide (outside measure), then the 23s will be too narrow, have a look at Conti Sport Contact in 28x700, they fit the wider rims. 😎
