Gear Talk / 27" touring tires?

« on: July 02, 2004, 06:15:32 pm »

I have a Nishiki Seral touring bike which has seen many 50+ mile single day rides in Baja and Southern California, but mostly a darkened garage for the last several years. I would like to start muti-day road touring along the Pacific Coast. The most popular touring tires do not seem to be available in 27x1-1/4" size. I love this sturdy bike and the wheelset has been flawless. What would be a good choice of tires for fully loaded touring in a 27" size? Also, I really hate flats and this may be my first experience on wet roads.
