I think 2.3 tires would soak up a lot of chatter.
Would be great if I were in the US, but converting is not an option here in Belize -- parts are not available and everything costs a mint to ship in. If I am going to spend the money on a bike, I need to just do it in one fell swoop and only pay for shipping from the US once, customs once, etc, not deal with multiple components. Not even sure anyone here would have a clue how to do the work as all that anyone rides here is beach cruisers!
