Hi everyone,
I just bought my first bike in 10 years. I am somewhat limited by availability, but decided to go with a Cube Cross Race mainly for commuting and maybe some longer weekend rides for fitness.
I decided to get some SPD pedals, but was wondering for my beginner level whether a road tyre would be worth buying? I am on a fairly tight budget. I expect more "roady" tyres may give a speed increase, but to what extent would this be? I can't justify the cost for only marginal improvement The vast majority of my commute is on city roads, may have occasional jumps up kerbs etc.
Thanks in advance!
