Re: Trek 520, general frame size question
OK, I'm starting to get a feel for it. Thank you.
Now makes me wonder what is more available in the backcountry of Western Europe, 700mm or 26inch? Also, Mexico & Soutn/Central America? Eric |

Finding good quality touring tires is often a challenge in any part of the world if you are just "riding in". 26" tires are widely available in the Americas and Europe, but they are often the 2" wide knobby ones. 700C ones are less available and often 23 or 25 mm wide. Once you find the "ideal" tires for you, it is wise to get a few extras.... or at least find out how you will get them when you are in say Panama.
