23 front 25 rear?!
Geez, aren't these kind of narrow for a tandem? We switched from Conti GP4000S 25 mm to Schwalbe Ultremo 28 mm, and
that was a SIGNFICANT difference. I attribute just about all this difference to increase in width. We have Schwalbe One 28's mounted now, but haven't had a chance to ride (changing the freewheel on our rear hub from Campy to Shimano so to be able to mount an 11-32 11-speed cassette, don't ask). I expect that the Schwalbe Ones will be nice, but not
dramatically different than the width identical Ultremos.
Comparing the ride quality between two different 23 mm tire models on a tandem, that's sort of like....
- Discussing which of Winchester or Remington .22LR rounds have the greater stopping power.
- Debating whether a Blackberry or a Treo is a better smartphone.
- Contrasting the delicacy of the bouquet of Night Train Express and MD 20/20.
- Differentiating between the nutritional benefits of Twinkies and Ho Hos.
