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

Got 'em. Love 'em. Fine for all but the deepest gravel or very soft sand, and pretty good on paved roads. But mine are 35s. Don't think they're made in 28s.

They handle it all (except mud). I did A LOT of research before deciding on them.
Me too. Recommended to me by a guy whose commute route includes a levee road. I have been impressed with them.
