i've always sort of thought that wider-than-25mm-tires on a road bike was a relatively niche thing limited to lfgssers, grammers and radavist
most roadies up here still ride 25mm
praying i'm not wrong, haha.
gillies-
I’m using 28mm SWorks Turbo Cotton on alloy rims on alloy frame on alloy bars.... etc etc
The difference in comfort between the 26mm and 28mm is noticeable. I can run the 28s at 85psi and they still corner and climb brilliantly.
Also, I only ever rode 23s until I moved to London - the roads in London are shit enough to warrant nothing less than 28s.

It's good price but the Achilles heel of these is that they can't take bigger than 25c tyres if that matters. Great price/bike otherwise .. @Klar has one for sell
