You were just at the bar and now you’re cruising twentynininches.com!?!?

Not a lucky night, I take it….

I wish tire companies (and GEAX certainly isn’t the worst offender) would put their tires in category based on rim size first, then let us self-select “urban” “xc” “whateversomebody wants to pigeonhole my riding as even though they don’t know me or where/how I ride”.

It’s a PITA. Almost everybody I know buying tires already has wheels to put them on, and therefore starting with wheelsize as a way to narrow down your choices is quick and easy. Whereas starting with tire intended use only works for road racing or DH, everything else is too much in between, especially when it comes to teh distinction between hardpack/cyclocross/urban microknobby/urban not-quite-slick 700c tires. As it is, most websites make me look at every single tire offered to check and see if there’s a 700c version I might be interested in. F’n A.

Yes, I’m being nitpicky, (yes I’ve been at the bar) but really, it’s something I’ve noticed a bunch of, especially when shopping for 700c tires, especially when looking at anything 30mm and above width.
