All that being said, when conditions permit, people should venture off pavement with 25-28mm tires. It's fun.

Hah I did D2R2 on 28s and a 28 cassette one year. Neither my legs or my forearms were happy that year. Now I'm old enough that I need a minimum of 32 and some sort of suspension up front like a shockstop.
