Lived in Rochester for 5 years and both the standard Trek Hybrid and the FX were very common sellers for riding the Erie Canal path and within the City area the path is paved but turns to cinder and gravel to the east and west. The FX last I saw came with a 32 smooth road tire which I'd swap for a 35 or 38 and I think the Clement X'plor USH is a great all around tire for pavement, gravel and dirt, and city. So far no punctures and I've been using it for 2 years now, ridden the Erie Canal, the Confederation Trail in Prince Edward and even did a completely dry cross race with it; wasn't the best for the cross race but better then the really knobby tires that some brought expecting mud. I run the 35 and find it all day comfortable and with this tire and a number of others like it I would have no problem with a trek FX for everyday all around usage.
