Hey, I wanted to get some feedback on what the preferred tires are.
I've ridden a couple, but there are so many brands and models out there.
I have been really loving Continental (German engineering) as a total package of rolling resistance, puncture safety and durability, but have been cheating on my home brand for good deals. (I'm cheap)
I think it was James who recommended the Vittoria Open Corsa/Tubulars as the fastest Clinchers. I just found one of the 20C variety for cheap at Shimazaki Cycle in Hachioji.
Before slapping it on, one question. I just got one of them and I'm running 23s now. Usually I would think putting the thinner tire on the rear would be better, so I have more rubber on the road on the front wheel while steering for more stability. Is that the right idea?
