However, I have now read it more slowly and kind of understand it better now. It does make me wonder now if I am wise to try to fit a 700 x 28 tyre where I currently have 700 x 35 fitted. Or maybe the difference in width is not that great to matter.
From 35 to 28 you will experience a fairly significant change in ride quality. The 28s will likely be lighter, which is a good thing, but your butt will notice the decreased volume. I'd factor your road conditions into the decision.
