Just got a vagabond frameset. The aim is to build up as a commuter/ town bike but also do some occasional off road. For on road I'm thinking tyres of around 38-40mm. For offroad I'll probably want to swap out for wider tyres. In terms of wheelsets it occurs to me I'll need to check rim widths etc to find something capable of both? Any recommendations on an 'all rounder' wheelset?
I've been running 35mm and 50mm tyres on a 19mm internal rim. If you're not going smaller than 38mm I reckon around 21mm internal would be even better.
But if you're swapping tyres anyway, why not just get fat slicks for around town?
IMO Schwalbe Big Apples roll really well.
