Hi
I'm thinking about getting some 25mm tyres for my CAAD9 f/f, but not sure if there is enough clearance. Are there any CAAD9 owners out there who've done it? Which model tyres? Hoping to put Gatorskins or some other tougher/winter tyre on for the Tour of Flanders sportive.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Hi

    I have run Schwalbe Durano 25's on my CAAD9 without any issues after swapping from 23's. I prefer the 25's, they feel more stable when cornering (probably in my head) and have proved to be pretty puncture resistant too.

    Great, that's just the answer I was looking for! :-)

    I have 25mm Gatorskins on my 54cm CAAD 5 no trouble. Frame is very similar geometry.
    Yellow is the new Black.
