Cyclocross Tire
aluminum cyclocross bike?
I am thinking of buying an aluminum cyclocross bike. I currently ride a Reynolds 853 steel road bike. My concern is the reputation of aluminum having an unforgiving ride. I don't mind the stiffness, just the vibration. Would the fatter tires (32c) cancel out the high frequency vibrations and take the edge off of the hard thumps? Thanks
Yes bigger tires do help. And if you do buy a carbon fork it will help as well.
