The lighter bike is slightly quicker on the climbs as it should be but I am very close on the 32s. I would never use 28s again but am limited by the frame on that bike and the carbon is so compliant yet quick that I keep that BMC around. If I lived where roads were rough, I may even consider those new Specialized Mondos and move to 35s.
