    650 x 25 tires

    I would like tires just a hair wider on my Madone for the comfort on long rides. I can find plenty of good quality 650 x 23 tires but the only 25s I have tracked down via the Google are Panracer Pasela Tires. They are not slick so likely not what I want and given the price being so low they probably are not going to be a good comparison to my current tires. http://www.amazon.com/Panaracer-Pase.../dp/B003CO99PI

    Is this a hopeless endeavor? Anyone know of any sources?

    Best to use the tire finder under biketiresdirect. There were others but this one didn't show up under the 650c tires.

    Looks like no on Tiresdirect and Rivendell. What is the difference between 650c and 650b?

    It'll be tough unless you can find a company providing them to intelligent triathletes.

    Here's a good article from the inimitable Sheldon Brown.

    28mm could be a great tire for what you do. Don't you ride off pavement a bit with that bike?
