hope this helps.
Thanks, I'm sure you're not familiar with the area but here in Houston, I mainly ride Terry Hershey Park and George Bush Park. All asphalt, some areas concrete and some wood bridges that have wood planks. Some areas are pretty good and some areas have the asphalt kinda torn up due to floods. Maybe I should stick with the 32s instead of the 28s.
