I just fitted some NOS late 80's Vittoria tyres to my Lemond Team Z build.
They are a super duper massive 19mm wide, which I knew when I bought them but they look ace and pumped as hard as my shitty pump will take them so I was surprised to find that apart from a small period of adjustment of about 100 yards that featured a minor wobble, ride absolutely fine and feel nice and nippy.
Do I go faster than when riding 25's? Don't really care, I'm not riding the olympic road race anytime soon so that extra second per mile I'll be losing out on or whatever won't give me nightmares.
CSB moment but thought i would add to the towering inferno of empirical evidence this thread is fuelled upon!
