good morning everyone.

hope you all had a nice commute today.

I have some new wheels comming for my cross check so I can put my 105 wheels back on my old road frame.

the new wheels are velocity dyads with a 40 h rear and 36 front.

Im wondering if I should go with 32 or 35 tires ???

I put 35s on my road bike rims originally for the cross check but at the moment I have a 35 rear and 32 front cuz I lost a tire and none of the LBS had 35 in stock so I put a 32 up front.

I weigh 240 and the cross check is a full Dresser, rack ,fenders ... one of the Mechs at one LBS I deal with is my size and he says he will ride nothing bigger than a 28.

also It seems the schwalbe tires are a popular choice

the Marathon plus is tempting

whats the general opinion

marathon plus or marathon with tuffy strips my main concern is glass as the two flats I had this summer glass was the culprit.

now if I go with marathon tires will a 32 be as wide as say a 35 in another brand??


many thanks

happy spinning.

"John"
