Why so skinny? Dude it is 2018 wider tires are proven better. Don't be a sadist any more and put something a little wider or get yourself a bike that can take at least a 28. Trust me you will love yourself so much more

When I went from 23 to 25 I was already sold and then when I went to 32 I was in heaven and now at 38 it is ultra lux though my road bike and Langster are maxed at 28mm but still way better than the old stuff.
