its been gusty AF for the last 3 months, and I honestly can’t tell the difference between running front tire at 26 or 28 or even 34 last season. Its all crosswinds, all the time except in the winter.
Small rocks in the road, those mostly disappear with 32s on the back. Anything smaller and the bike (Tarmac SL7) will skip a little (I weigh over 90kg).
@kurt.braeckel forget to tell you a month ago on Wed worlds a guy with Pirelli Cinturato (26 I think) hit a large pothole at 28mph and he had to put a Dynaplug in to seal a hole in the rear tire! And he is a little guy, maybe 65kg. He was going to make the call of shame and two of us pulled out dynaplugs
