I bloody knew it was coming, I swear I predicted road bike wheels would be next to be frigged with…
In essence you can sort of see the logic, roadies have cottoned on to the concept of slightly wider (25-28mm), higher volume tyres being more comfortable in recent years. But I think they’ve picked the wrong gimmick, they should have gone for “gravel plus” first (presumably that’s on the way too) I just don’t reckon roadies are going to fall for this one, where shoving a higher volume tyre on drop bared, offroad bike probably has more chance of selling, and arguably makes more practical sense, but then why not simply plonk bigger tyres on a 622 rim?… Oh hang on…
The Skin-walls are pretty though, so that’s something…
