I've been enjoying 23mm tires on my 23mm (outside) deep rims. They look fast and maybe they are. Certainly doesn't hurt on descents. It occurs to me that perhaps pros are going to 25s to match their 25mm rims. Or 28 for 28 rims if there are such animals.
I dunno, my bike computer says I'm going slower with the 28's, having not gotten around to changing the setting yet. About 1/2 mph less than I think I'm going.
