Tyak 46 x 18 is approx 68" it's what I ride Audaxes on [67.3" on mine with 23c tyres]
I organise a 100km Grimpeur Audax that climbs up and down several climbs of Kents North Downs with 1850 meters of climbing, I've ridden that on 67.3" but had to walk the two steepest hills 'Yorks Hill and One Tree Hill' on the 1 in 4 sections, it was get off or fall off
