I really would like to go 32mm to maybe 38mm.
So your suggestions would be great!
Thanks!
5 years riding OP's and Conti 35's. If you inflate too much, that's a no go. I run low pressure (60PSI or lower)on them, never a pinch flat or a rim blow off. I use mine for off road/gravel mostly, but your end use really depends on what tire you want to run. If you already have Open Pro's, use them and see.
Nothing ventured...
