Comfort on the 25s should be better though as you can ride them with slightly less pressure.

Comfort was the main issues for me when I switched from 23mm's, the roads and bike lanes here aren't always that smooth here so every little thing helps. Last two years I've had Schwalbe Durano plus'es, Pretty OK tyres, I think I've had only one puncture in 2000km's riding. Not as fast as the Schwalbe Ultemo's I had before, but seem to be more durable, and that is more important when commuting to work.

Fully agree with you on that one.
On a long ride, and I usually do 3 hours+, comfort has a higher importance over the couple of seconds difference in speed.

And if you aren't racing what does it matter anyway...

Pffff I happen to think my Schwalbe Ultremo pinks look pretty damn cool. :p My road bike is currently out of action. It's awaiting a new tool to arrive so my bottom bracket can be removed and my new ultegra chainring fitted. :D

Your button bracket needs a special new tool?! Hmm...

Haha Ioan you got there too soon, I went and had a roast chicken dinner before editing. Needs must and all that.

You live in the same place as me then? :D

Sounds like excellent cycling territory to me, you'll be fit as ;)

I've lived in two places, current one at the bottom of hills so you have to climb at the start of every ride, used to live at the top of the hill so you had to climb at the end of the ride. Much better where I am now, as a climb at the start gets you warmed up nicely, unlike a steep climb at the end when you're already tired.

I know what you mean :) . I guess I'm just not used to it really, pretty much everything around me is gradient of varying degree. There's very little totally flat.

Surely that's a contradiction.
