• On loose surface it's expected that wider and lower pressure will be better, I asked specifically about road cause my idea was to have 700c wheelset for offroad and 650b for mostly road with some occasional gravel.
    After some thinking I am now favouring 2 700c wheelsets - the terrain one with Resolutes and road one with 28c road tyres tubed that I could swap for winter with studded tyres for snow fun without the resealing hassle. I am wondering whether I should go for real 28c road tyre (like Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance that I found for just 16 EUR) or Voyager Hyper that gets lots of nice reviews and seems quite quick for a more touring-oriented tyre.

  • loose surface, not gravel, loose surface are pretty common on the road in the UK.

    They're fine to climb, it just feel less stiff rather than squirmy once you got the pressure spot on for you.

  • You mean some debris that is laying in tarmac? Or tarmac that consists of more small stones than tarmac itself and therefore quite rough?
