I think Conti 28s are a fair test. Just be sure to use an appropriately low tire pressure to actually get the benefit.
This chart is based on weight per wheel, rather than total weight: Sorry if I'm voicing the obvious. |

Useful chart. I had a similar chart based on total rider weight for 23 and 25mm tyres, but not for bigger. So that puts it at about 55 rear, 50 front on a 28.
That seems about right, maybe even a bit higher than I was thinking. |

That's what I run on 28's, maybe a little higher if road conditions are ideal.

just rode a supersix evo hi-mod disc.
with a different wheelset though. my initial impressions were that it was a lot better. i went for 20 miles on it. then i got back on the IF and actually . . hell . . . pretty hard to tell. 28s might be sufficient if they fit. we will see. OT: C40 sold pending payment. |

Keep in mind that the supersix has a comfort seatpost. Having owned a supersix with the same wheelset and same seatpost/saddle and bars, it was significantly harsher riding that my Litespeed T3 which is a fairly race oriented Ti frame.

Good reminder. That's where it was the smoothest actually . . .

Update.
28mm Contis made a huge difference. But then I got a deal on a new Outback Carbon Breakaway so once that's built I'll probably be moving this one on. So, if you're around 5'5" to 5'8" (ish), get in touch. I'll have a gorgeous IF on the market soonish. |

Frame would be awesome if you wanted to race crits on it - just awesome. I've realised I'm getting on a bit and the geo and soft ride of the ritchey is more my thing. That, and the travel issue from the breakaway is a real bonus. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk |
