Wheels and tyres have always been a simple thing for me: Buy campag wheels, fit 23c tyres, ride.
However, I'm looking at getting some Farsport and it seems I have some options on the rims: 23mm or 25mm. I've also heard murmurings over the last few years about 25c actually being faster/more comfortable, so I might give some a go.
Is it as simple as 23mm rims will fit 23c tyres and above? I will need 25mm rims for 25c tyres? If not, what are the advantages/disadvantages of 23mm/25mm?
Also, they appear to have thrown some U shape/V shape nonsense into the mixer. Whats the general consensus on this?!
Cheers
