Tried 40s now trying 28s. These feel faster for sure but not sure how they'll do on shittier roads and more challenging decents. Thinking the sweet spot for me might be 32s.

I'm a 30/32 guy on the road.  I think my Roubaix maxes out at 32 and that's what's on it now.  I have a pair of 30s in reserve for when those wear out and won't sweat the difference.

Got the monster truck tires mounted on the Aspero today and went out for a spin.

Was happy to average 19 with 40s and the bike turning itself into a single speed for the last 13 miles.

Yeah, think I'll end up there as well.

The 28s feel amazing WHEN the pavement is smooth. As soon as the quality goes to shit, I miss the bigger tires. 32 should be the sweet spot and is as big as the Vittoria Corsa Pros go.

Did some good long rides this weekend so I feel ready to do the metric centuries I've signed up for. If I can survive the climbs, I'll finish no problem. It really is amazing how easy it is to pace with a power meter.
