Thanks Dave.Are you racing on the 25th it sounds like fun.Not sure what kind of tires to put on the road bike because i do not own a cross bike.

Coach Dave said...

For you… I guess your frame limits your options. I would go with whatever you can get with some tread. Packing up will be a real issue if the ‘dirt road’ are even a little wet. I have run GearX 29 c (which have a huge tread) on the road bike, but it was tight in the back and dry weather. I used to have a set of cheap 23C with a great inverted tread that was awesome in snow and on ice. There were these green cross things they used to make for grass that had a really wide spacing with minimal knobs but I think they discontinued them. So we are back to 'whatever you can fit without packing up'. I would take a few test run on a really muddy road and see what you can get away with. If, however, it is dry then reg road rubber for you. And me. I? I have a cross bike!

The Flash is crazy. Good to have you aboard Cory! See you all at GB! I have an event in my store on the 25th and am unable to attend the "classics" race.
