Hello all, I need to replace the front tire of my bike, a vintage Trek 520 touring bike. I've got a Rolly-Polly on the back which is in good shape. I need a new tire for the front.
In my mind I have two options that would work, either a Rolly Polly (provides a match with the rear tire) or a Ruffy Tuffy (a near match with the rear). The bike will be on the road the majority of the time. However, I do anticipate riding on some local trails that are covered with stone dust (such as the Erie Canal Towpath Trail). >From what I can gather, the Rolly Polly is going to be lighter and feel more lively than the Ruffy Tuffy (which I've read a number of people describe as feeling "dead"). However, given the fact that I will be riding this tire on the stone dust trails, might I be wise to go with the thicker & heavier tire? Thanks for your thoughts.
