what's a better choice for a rugged tourer with cx leanings that will be used on a variety of surfaces, from road to gravel to sand to (less frequently) mud:
What tire options do you have with 29ers?
It's to go on a steel frame and i'd want proper mudguards on there too. Planning the order / purchase for mid summer. It's going to be a custom build so space could be built in, but is there a limit to this stuff? would 32s be the biggest tire you'd go for? is there a good website for this sort of info? i've been looking at other forums and threads but not found anything definitive.
The reason i was thinking 29er rims is to get something naturally bomb proof without having to build in bomb proof on normal 700cs by going crazy on spoke count.
