So tyre and wheel choice for a big guy on a Canyon Ultimate AL riding through Belgium and England: A23 on Hope hubs, R501 or RS10? (Not much difference between the last two...)
The obvious choice would be the A23's, but they are quite hard to mount tyres on. I've been above 130-140 psi, before the GP4000S II's seated properly, which will be difficult with a tiny handpump.
Tyres: I've got some NOS Krylion Carbon in 23/25 and a pair of slightly worn GP4000S II's in 25, where one has a small sidewall cut, that probably needs a boot. I've thought about getting some Durano Plus or something similar, but I'm from the land of flint, so maybe Belgium will be fine without massive puncture protection?
