LOOK695 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Another positive I have noticed is the the tyres last much longer on a wider rim
yusufakals Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Ive recently changed from 23c to 25c, ive got gp4000s2 continental 25cs, it gives a much better and more comfortable ride compared to my old 23s.
raptor-22 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Oh dear more grossly exaggerated pics that have no grounding in science... You think 1mm either side changes the contact patch that drastically?
Zariuss Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I have changed to 25 Gator skins and defn more comfortable.I weigh 110kg and it defn makes more sence for me. just my 5c
eraser Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Sweet spot for me is 23mm front 25mm rear Another way to look at is (compared to 23mm) 25 had 9% more volume, 28mm has 21% more volume More volume. More contact with road. More bump absorption. More weight.
jimmycool Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Same here for me. Changed from 23c gatorskins to 25c Schwalbe Durano plus and the ride felt noticibly smoother. That road vibration that I used to feel through the bars from the front wheel seems to have dropped by more than half.
Patchelicious Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Recently switched to 25c and am pleased with the change. Can't advice on 28s personally but my old swears by his.

More contact with road. More bump absorption. More weight.Have been contemplating this but also want to reduce this Same here for me. Changed from 23c gatorskins to 25c Schwalbe Durano plus and the ride felt noticibly smoother. That road vibration that I used to feel through the bars from the front wheel seems to have dropped by more than half.Not that my bike isnt smooth. It is actually very smooth, but when one rides over certain rough sections, then there is a definite vibration over the bars. Almost like the rumble strips under a car.

You think 1mm either side changes the contact patch that drastically?Lol, knew you were going to not like that picture Must still start that separate thread At OP, the biggest difference I have found was better comfort (buzz) and from a performance point, descending feel and grip.

Just roll a 23 and 25 through a puddle of water at the same time and see the difference of the pattern.
