gravel & tire width
I would like to do some rail to trails stuff, also some national forest fire roads. Various posibilites near St. Louis. Right now I only have a road bicycle. I tried the Katy trail a couple of times and the narrow tires sank into the damp crushed limestone. So what has been your experience with 28, 32, 35 width tires , on crushed limestone & gravel? I'm sure frame geometry is part of the issue also. Yes I do need a touring bicycle.
