Yakob/Merged article on tyre size
G:
Rubber can be very variable, however, with a bike tyre the final shape is much more down to the casing, which is nylon. Yes there will be a significant variation in final size, but around a predictable "norm".
The article isnt mind blowing, but its definitely a move forward from the "here's XXXXX's new signature seat/stem/sprocket/bar"...

is the market switching back to thinner tyres again?

Mother of god. I can only hope. That is my tire size of choice but it is so hard finding anything worth a damn. Aitken 2.10" is about all that is out there (IMO) that is worth a shit.

I personally am about ready to vomit over the "So and so rider's signature part has to be the best because look how hard they shred!" I mean, I'm sure that shit works on little kids. But every time I see that I'm all
