26 x 2.125 is nice going over bumps and on rough stuff. 26 x 1.75 makes a nice middle ground for size if you like something smaller.

Track bike is 700 x 25's @ 100 psi. The road bike is old school, but made sure it was 27 x 1-1/8's, those are 105 psi.

25. As I once heard a man say, you can still feel the penny you ran over, but you can't tell what year it was minted.
