Specialized Langster tyre options
I have a 2007 Langster S/s and am running the stock Mondo 700c x 23
tyres. I was wondering if there was a better option whether a
different brand or even going up to a 700c x 25 (which I think is just
about possible, still keeping quick-fit RaceBlades) Any thoughts? It's
not that I am unhappy with the tyres the bike came with, it's just
that I want to get the most out of the bike. I ride on a mainly flat
seafront commute into Brighton on decent enough cycle paths.
