Bikes: one for everything

also another perspective, most roadie max out at 28c or even 25c tires. If you can't UP the circumference of the tire size due to frame design hitting fork or rear chain stays. You have to get wider rims at allow for more volume of air. HED C2, Velosity A23, Kinlin XC-279 or go tubeless w/ Stan A400, Shimano Ultegra tubeless or similar. Any of these wheels are in the $300-700 range pending your hub selection.

WIDE is the new AERO....and I'm a believer of the hype. Been on A23s w/ king hubs, now on tubeless Stans A400s and they are awesome + not having a flat tire in the past few thousand miles is an added perk or made me down right spoiled
