Great to be here
Great to be among other cyclists and hoping to both learn and contribute when I can. I found this forum while losing my mind debating between 30 and 32's and learned so much, that I wanted to join the community after deciding to go with 32's. Looks like since I'm a bit heavier than the average bear (225 pounds) and the majority of our roads are a little rougher, the 32's seem to be a great way to go. Especially with a 51MM deep and 23MM inner width with a bike that supports them so why not?! Worst case scenario, I switch to a 30MM but from what I've learned, I think I'll be pleased with them. I went with the Conti GP 5000 S TR that I'll be running at 60/65 PSI to start with and see how it goes. Happy Cycling!
