Not that this pertains to anything in this thread- the "Swift Tire Sand Canyon" 1 3/8" tires look really great- I'm going to get a set, just because the only 1 3/8" tire I've ridden was 30 years old and I didn't trust it.
Partially agree. I get it but the downside to some of the really wide rubber is weight. They end up being beastly flywheels on climbs, the lower psi makes one bob up a climb. And in some cases, short wheelbase / tight fork rake bikes will have an induced shimmy.
Still looking around for fast gravel / tarmac 27" in gumwall.
