32's I guess?
When you switched tires, did you do anything about the gearing? Reducing tire size means reducing overall wheel size, which lowers your gearing a little (from 72.23 to 71.18 gear inches), with the same chainring/cog ratio...meaning, you'd theoretically be quicker off the line. What I want to know is, with the same effective gearing, what do people think of the difference in tire size?
