Cycling tyres for winter?  1 to 20 of 51 messages 07/09/2008 at

tyres would be best for a road bike to carry you through the
winter training period, current I have 23s on mine, but figure
these will be too flimsy and puncture prone for winter use.  Im
guessing 25 or wider, or is it best to put the road bike in the
shed altogether and just stick to using mountain bike and doing
spinning classes?  JD.    pirate 07/09/2008 at 15:32  gp4000

25mm will be more comfortable i think.  actually, would be good

than 23mm tyres.  not that that matters in training i guess.

the roads are as
