Dumb question: How do I solve this, if possible? Probably not safe clearance. Current tires 700x28c. by Velocipeedn Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

painfullyrelatable on October 8, 2024 12:03 pm I have about the same clearance and I’ve had no issues yet. But if you feel uncomfortable I’d recommend a smaller tire.

Unfortunately the only way to solve it is a smaller tyre

Solve what? Looks ok for road use.

If it’s clear, get it in gear.
Send it, bruv.

you’re right up against the frame’s tire size limit.
