I can get away with the 28 on my Compact as it only measures out to 26 and it's not much taller than any of the 23's I've been running. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7208#post-10832 Thu, 17 May 2012 22:59:23 +0000 Domestique 10832@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>The Conti GP4 'measures' less than 28mm speced (they come in around 26-27mm), either way it's a great tire.</p> <p>D. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7208#post-10766 Thu, 17 May 2012 01:07:40 +0000 Quickdraw 10766@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hello Old Road Dog,</p> <p>Below is a link to some photos that I had taken of a Vamoots CR with 700x28c Continental Grand Prix 4-season tires.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/73800777@N03/7212271916/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/73800777@N03/7212271916/in/photostream/</a></p> <p>If anything, the photos make the clearance appear smaller than it was. Clearance was not a problem. There was less clearance with the front tire than the rear tire, and that was with current "Moots Road Fork." So depending on your fork, your results may be different. </p> <p>I have a nearly identical set of wheels to those shown in the photos with 700x23c Continental Grand Prix 4000s. I can say that the ride with the 700x28c is noticeably smoother. The 700x28c Continental Grand Prix 4-season tires have been pretty durable, and handle bad pavement and dirt roads well. I'm not sure the results would be as dramatic just going up to 700x25c. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7208#post-10686 Tue, 15 May 2012 19:11:12 +0000 Old Road Dog 10686@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, Jon. When I get through with Ride The Rockies, I am moving on to the bigger rubber. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7208#post-10679 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:15:41 +0000 JonC 10679@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>ORD,<br /> Yes, your Vamoots will handle a 25c tire and depending on tire maker up to a 28c tire in some situations. </p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7208#post-10645 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:53:56 +0000 Old Road Dog 10645@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I have a 55 cm (aprox) Vamoots. I am thinking about buying some 25c tires to replace my Vittorias. Will my frame clearance accomodate a bit fatter tire? </p>
