Sorry I don't know which section this should go under, probably the mountain biking section, but il try my luck here haha.
I've got myself a XC race (not too technical from what I've been told) in a couple of months and I am happy with how the bike is on the trials I've been on so far for training.
The tyres on the bike justnow are 700x45, I've trusted them so far but I'm scared to try going 'flat out' on them as I do feel they won't be up to par come race day.
I've seen no proper off road tyres under 700x45 and I've seen somewhere that 29er tyres at 1.75" are basically the same size but I'd quite like someone to confirm this if that would be alright?
Thanks in advance!
