I need some tire recommendations. The bike is a 1992 Cannondale H600 Cross, Ritchey Vantage
CrossSport rims, 36 spokes on LX hubs, Avocet 700x38 tires. After 10 plus years, the sidewalls
are cracking with probably 50% or more good tread. The Esge fenders are a tight fit, and 38 is
the max size.
I am not displeased with the Avocet tires. They grip well, wear well and are inexpensive to replace.
My tri-athlete neighbor was suggesting a smaller tire for less rolling resistance, suggesting a
700x28. The Avocet can be had in 700 by 32 or 25 or 38. So if I am to swap rubber, any
recommendations for brand and size.
He also suggested a Giant OCR Elite 0 as a replacement bike. But I want new rubber. The
bike is fine.
