My commute is primarily bike paths, some roads and some pavement. As expected, there are some potholes, root damaged bike paths, and under 10% grade across the route. I ride 26x2.4 tires on my hard tail, with a lower PSI (35) to give me a little softer ride. The trade off is my cruising speed is down and I run through a new rear tire every 500 or so miles.
As I look at a newer build, I am debating if I should go 27.5+ tires or even a 29er or a 29+ to get better speed and maintain a somewhat softer / comfortable ride ?
Any thoughts/ recommendations I should consider ? The new build will also be a BBSHD so should have good power for the daily 25mile commute.
Thanks.
