At a push I might even get some 35s in there if they weren't too chunky on the grips, which would be amazing for the cobbles.</p> <p>Still, I'm looking forward to cruising at ~80psi rather than 110 along Randolph Place and Coates Gardens.</p> <p>It did mean swapping out the mudguard stays for ones which were slightly less enthusiastically trimmed to a 25c tyre profile... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16987#post-232968 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 22:45:39 +0000 kaputnik 232968@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I make it a 19mm interior, suggesting 28mm and up to 44s.</p> <p>Will probably give 32s a bash given I've also got them on touring bike and wintersaurus rex. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16987#post-232967 Tue, 04 Oct 2016 22:17:25 +0000 chdot 232967@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Mostly depends on rim width, see chart near bottom of page -</p> <p>"</p> <p>Note: This chart may err a bit on the side of caution.

Given up on Open Pros and gone for the cheaper, tougher option of Rigida Sputniks.</p> <p>I think a few people here use (or have used) them. What sort of tyre sizes have folk been using? I had 25s on the Open Pros and think I could squeeze up to a 32 under my mudguards. I think a 25 would roll off the rim as they are a bit wider than the Open Pros, I think 28 might be smallest sensible tyre. </p> <p>If I could get away with 38s I would, but just not enough clearance! </p>
