Which is faster 23c or 28C?
A 23c tyre has a long, narrow patch, whereas wider tyres have a short, wider footprint. That means if you’ve been riding on 23c tyres and associated rims, if you just slap on some 28c tyres, it won’t roll faster than your 23c tyres. However, you will still get more comfort, grip, and less punctures.
Are 25mm faster than 28mm?
Yes, they are still aerodynamically superior, but the rolling speed advantages outweigh this, certainly at the speeds of regular cyclists and even up to the speeds reached by keen amateurs, even professional cyclists are now running 25mm tubulars and sometimes 28mm for the Spring classics.
What is the difference between 23c and 25c?
The 25c was about 3mm wider than the 23c, and considerable taller in profile (which for me means no mud guards with the 25c’s due to rubbing). The 25c’s feel slower to me, but my bike comp says there’s no difference. The 25c’s are more comfy and feel more planted downhill, giving a little more confidence.
Can any road bike tire 23c 25c 28C fit in any rim?
Can any road bike tire (23c, 25c, 28C) fit in any rim? No. As a general rule, you can fit a tyre up to twice the width of the rim.
Will 25mm Tyres fit on 28mm rims?
Also consider that most 25mm tires will actually measure 27-29mm on a wide rim. So if you go buy a 28mm wide rim, the 25mm tire is still the right sized tire. You’d need to find a 30-32mm rim to be aero optimized for your 28mm tire.
Will 25mm tyres fit on 28mm rims?
Can you put a 23C tire on a 28C rim?
In your case, it sounds like you want to put 23C on in place of 28C, so that should work fine since there should be no clearance issues going to a narrower tire. Ride quality will be different. see less 700x23C & 700x28C are the same tire sizes (diameter). The 23 & 28 denote different tire widths, not tire diameter.
Can I replace 700×23 with 700×25?
Both sizes will work on the same rims. There is a definite trend in the last year or two to put slightly wider tires on road bikes.
Can I put 23mm tyres on 28mm rims?
28mm tire on 23mm rim may suffer a bit more. Both aren’t 28mm tire on 28mm or wider rim anyway. Since you don’t bother matching tire width to rim width to begin with, just screw aero and ride what you feel good. No problems.
Which is better, a 28C or a 23C?
You’ll notice 28c to 23c. Ride will be firmer due to higher pressure, rolling will be a little faster, cornering may feel less secure. Wheels will accelerate a little faster. I’m a convert to 25c, it has the speed benefits of 23c and the comfort benefits of 28c and I’m struggling to see the downsides. I just need to wear down my 23c collection ;-).
Can a 23C tire fit in a rim?
Generally, rims will accommodate a range of tire widths. It appears that most common tire width is 23c, and rims that accept 23c will accept up to 28c.
Can you put 23C tyres on a 29er?
Though 23C or 25C or 28C width tyres can be installed on a bicycle with 700C wheelset, once the tubes are inflated, the wider width tyres may rub against the body of the frame which makes cycling impossible, as you can see from this diagram for road bike. However, some 700C tyres can be installed on a 29er.
Which is faster, Conti four seasons 25C or 28C?
I run conti four seasons 25c on my commuting Sirius 300km a week does not feel much slower than my road bike running 23c unless facing wind or really putting hammer down You’ll notice 28c to 23c. Ride will be firmer due to higher pressure, rolling will be a little faster, cornering may feel less secure. Wheels will accelerate a little faster.
