@fluff
so i have a question.
i'm doing a three week tour and since my current tyres are 4 years' old this seems a good time to refresh them.
i've decided they will be schwalbe durano plus. they come 23, 25, 28 etc. and given that i'm not using front panniers, is there a good reason not to go for a 28mm on the back wheel, to better support the weight of gear, and 25mm on the front, for a little extra speed?
road conditions will be reasonably good, mostly paved, throughout.
any thoughts?
