The bike has over 6,000 km with this setup and I'm not hearing any funny noises yet.

Luis,
Thanks for your reply. Can you dumb it up a bit for a rookie tantem team? The simple question is; Can we put 700 x 25, or 700 x 23 tires, on wheels that came O.E. with 700 x 28 and expect them to stay on the wheels throughout all conditions regardless of ride comfort? And will they go on and off just as easily if we have to change a flat.
Secondary question is ;will the 25's or 23's be much more effecient than the 28's?
