I was wondering if I could get a slightly wider wheel that could support a wider tire. The crushed stone makes control a bit hard at times. I am looking for more stability from the bike.
I like the feel of the bike and am very comfortable with the road set up. I would rather not have to buy a new bike.

These type of bikes usually max out at 700x25c, if you're already running these I guess that's the most you can get out of them, if you want more comfort, try running the tires tubeless (get a slightly modern rim with vintage looks) and going on rides with a lower psi, should add more comfort and grip to your rides with this set up
