Subject: RE: Difference between 700x23 and 700x25 tires?Hijack alert!
On a similar note, but for a different type of bike. I'm very much a noob, sufficiently so that I'll be doing my first few (sprint ) triathlons on a hybrid: to wit, a Trek 7.2 FX. It came stock with 700x35 tires, but I think I'd like to go with something narrower and maybe a bit slicker. The guys at my LBS didn't have much definitive to say about going to a narrower tire, and my e-mail requests to Trek have thus far proved fruitless.
Anybody have any recommendations as to the narrowest reasonable tire for a bike like this? I saw a 7.3 FX with 700x30s, but the wheels on the two bikes are different: Matrix 750 for my 7.2 FX, Bontrager Camino for the 7.3 FX. I haven't been successful finding any information on the Matrix 750, other than that it comes stock on any number of bikes.
Any help would be much appreciated, even (especially? ) if it's advice along the lines that it wouldn't make much difference.
