I just found WTB Resolute 700c tyres that tick all my boxes in offroad riding - big, but would fit in Pickenflick, good on hardpack and decent in mud as well. Therefore probably I will buy them and the second wheelset would be relegated to almost entirely road duties with some occasional gravel shortcut. For this, does it still make sense to go for 650b road plus? I have a feeling 700x32c Maxxis Re-Fuse (which is available for like 60% of Horizon's price currently) would make it, while lower mass and narrower profile might help me keep up on road group rides. Am I right?
