strong fast wheel
« on: March 08, 2025, 02:40:08 PM »
so, im just thinking for fun about the extra option of having a set of wheels and tyres for fun summer rides where you want a bit more speed on heavier thorn frame

currently have sun Reno rims (18-25mm? not sure how to measure ) 2.00 schwalbe marathon plus tyres, as I wanted something I could go most places fearlessly and all year round ,and the seem ok to me

im a bit ignorant on what makes a bike faster or feel faster as far as these things go

in my head, thin narrow high pressure tyres and thin rims are fast and big chunky tractor tyres with lower pressure  are slow

but maybe that's not the case

im looking to go fast..... but I would just like to go a bit faster than what my current setup can do

any thoughts?

I would still prefer a bomb proof tyre that's puncture proof/ resistance but could be open to something that offers more comfort/ speed
