For this type ride I install his hiking boots: Continental Ride Tours. They also grow to 32mm at the 70psi I use. I pay a weight penalty for them - about a pound more for the pair but I don't think much about them flatting. I also used these for my GAP trip last summer, again 90% unpaved trail. So this pair has pert-near 400 miles on them. Solid. The Paselas will go back on now. No more tour plans for this season.
Gotcha. Schwinn listed their bikes in inches in the late 80s catalogs. If 57cm c-c then its probably 58cm c-t, so the 23" frame. Thanks for the tire info, they looked bigger than 32mm to me!
