Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

Do these tire widths and terrain generalizations on the tires discussed - also apply to their tubulars???


I run:
Schwalbe 30mm (no knobs) for reasonably maintained, hardpack off-road;
32/33mm (with knobs) for lesser maintained off-road or anything off-road with twisty descent.
A mountain bike (clinchers) for anything tougher, choosing either rigid or front suspension, depending.


edit: I'm in the camp that says these rolling resistance figures that everyone worships are nebulous at best, misunderstood by many. Fine for laboratory analysis, mostly useless on the road (unless you are racing at a highly competitive level).
