Newbie questions
Let me jump right out and disclose that yes I’m a noob, and while I like (easy) trail riding, I’m riding to (1) stay in shape and (2) keep my legs strong for snowboarding and hunting.
All that said - I wiped out today, not going fast, on a soft gravel curve, and now I’m looking for a good gravel tire. Almost all my rides are on established trails that have som soft gravel spots.
Any suggestions? I’d rather spend a little more and have fewer episodes like this, vs just grabbing something off Amazon that says it’s good in gravel.
Second - my rear tire is 29x2.00. I’ve looked up tire conversion charts and don’t find anything that matches 100%.
How much can the tire differ from what came on it? Would a 29x2.1 be fine? 2.2?
Should I be looking for 700x50? Based on what I saw I should be getting a 700x47C, but don’t see that size offered.
Thanks for any and all help.
