Biggest tires on a Langster?
 
How big a tire can you squeeze on your Langster?

Warning: This is not an answer to your question.

Note that, if you have not yet bought a bike, and if you want to run wide tires, Specialized offers the Tricross Singlecross.

Thank you, and good night.

I'm sure some 82's will fit on there. 82 MILLION!... something.

Thanks, but its for a friend who already has one. He wants to do a cross race on Sunday with it.

I think I'm just going to talk him into borrowing him one of my hardtail MTBs

Tricross looks sweet!

Bump:

He did a cyclocross race in Lowell Ma. today fixed on the Langster with a cross fork, a 30mm cross tire on front and a 25mm road tire on back.

I rode my Trek 750 fixed with 34mm cross tubulars.

Sounds sloppy. How was it?

He did great! (beat me:() He runs a three hour marathon so I have no shame.

There was a soft muddy climb and he said it was no problem. He did go down drifting around one corner. He said he was about 20th in a 100 person field. I was about 65th.

He ran a slick tire on the back.

Any of you Doodz know of a 28mm tire with an aggressive tread?

It's not 'cross aggro, but I <3 my panaracer pasela TG 28's, which have some tread.

same, we put them on my girlfriend's bike to try some cross stuff, and while it wasn't ideal, it did work pretty well

DDYTDY 11-18-07 06:05 PM

Thanks doodz!

I'll pass that on to him.
