I am about to get new tyres. I want a profile of 60 in order to lower the bike ( i am a short girl and I can't quite reach the ground comfortably). I mostly ride on bad bitumen roads full of potholes and loose blue metal and the occasional well compacted dirt road. Roads are hardly ever wet as it hardly rains and it's rather hot in summer.
What kind of tyre and what brand would you recommend ? I ride 10 000 kms a year on average.
Thanks.
What if you put on lowering links to drop it down a couple inches?
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Oh and what he said^^
Agreed, lowering links on ebay are pretty cheap. I have them on mine and my front is dropped a bit also
