Flat barred 700c wheeled fast hybrid used for work commute - about 30 miles round trip. Need lot more puncture resistance. I'm looking at Conti Ultra Gatorskin or Conti SuperSport Plus. Problem is the maximum widths are 28mm for Gators and 25mm for SuperSport. I currently have 32mm with panniers at the back (have checked and the wheels can take 25mm OK).
Daft question - does anyone know if it's OK to have panniers but with tyres only 25mm wide or should the tyres be wider ?
Thanks
