Considering a slightly wider more aggressive Tire.

Went with just the wife for a short 6 miler : Traffic was terrible So we took a short cut down a dirt road. Mainly loose gravel. Bike rear tire kept slipping sideways : Trying to go even 10 MPH made control almost impossible. She was riding a Verve 2 and went thru it just fine.

I don't intend on that large of a Tire: I thru on the 40C size that come on a Dual Sport 2 . Handled really good : So I can easily go 40 size wise :

BontragerCX0 Tire,

LT2 Comp or

H5 Hard-Case Ultimate Hybrid Tire All 3 come in 700 X 38C .

Currently the Bike has Bontrager H2 Hard-Case Lite. When I put the knobby 40C tire that comes on the DS 2 .

It handled black top just as fast as My Skinner H2's in 32 did. Bontrager's CX0 has really good reviews from the Cycle Cross guys : They have those in the 33C on Closeout because everyone wants the 35 or 38 size. Makes sense :

I might get a New seat : I put a Selle Royal on My Wife's Bike and She loves it :

Seats aren't really a Priority for me.

These New FX3 shift very smooth and teh weight of teh Bike at least feels much lighter then a DS 2 . Even though Online specs note just a Few Pounds difference : Feels a lot lighter :

The 2020 FX 3 model isn't available in USA yet : They didn't have it on the Floor. When I asked about it that made it ok to show it to me. The LBS Owner said We can't dis[play these until mid Sept :
