25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm or wider: how do you choose the ideal tire width for your road bike?
There was a time when road cyclists swore by tires that were 21 or 23 millimeters wide. In recent years, however, that trend has been completely overturned. The standard first shifted toward 25 millimeters and then to 28 millimeters. Nowadays, you increasingly see 30 millimeters and even 32 millimeters in the peloton. We outline this evolution and explain how Ridley responded to this phenomenon early on.
