Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SKS Race blades - size recommendation
My bike has 23mm tires. Should I stick with the 18-23mm race blades, or will larger size give better performance?

I have the larger ones, and I can't imagine using ones that are any smaller. I would go with the larger.

I have the smaller (18-23) set and they work, but if I could trade them for the larger ones, I would.

standard 18-23 should be more than fine.
