Hey all...I had a track tire question for you. My daughter is entering her second year of track racing, and since she is growing fast, I'm building up a new bike for her ahead of the season. I have a set of heavier training wheels and a lighter set a race wheels. The training wheels are a set of Mavic Reflex Tubulars. The race wheels are the newer Zipp 404 V2 track wheels. I can use them too so I figured why not? Now it's time to think about tires.

Our Velodrome here is pretty smooth concrete. The banking is not all that steep. She will be racing at the Velosports Center in Carson this year though. That is indoor, wood, and incredibly steep. I was thinking about putting Continental Sprinters on the trainers and Tempo II on the Zipps. Now the question is width. Both come in 22. Will this width work on both rims? Should I get 25s for the training wheels?

What say you? Thanks in advance.
