Tyre width is one of the most hotly debated topics in road cycling. While road cyclists traditionally used very narrow tyres, it now seems like every new road bike is coming with big tyres and lots of extra clearance. Are you sacrificing speed for comfort and grip when you get wider tyres, though, or are wider tyres faster than narrow ones? Having recently put these questions to the test, Jack and Simon give you the lowdown on the best tyre width for road cycling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
