Winter tyres for Ribble Gran Fondo

dominicg

Hi,
Does anyone know what is the biggest tyre I could put on a Ribble Gran Fondo frame? The clearance doesn't look very big to me,

Thanks,

Dominic

If Ribble tell you 23s, avoid the Continental GP4000s in that size, as they wouldnt fit my 7005 Sportive.

You probably need to be more specific about which Gran Fondo you have. Mine is the previous generation - it fits 25s easily without Crud Roadracers but with them, 23s are a very tight fit.

Thanks, mine is the 2011-12 version. I forgot about mudguards: haven't put them on yet. I used Raceblades last year but that was on a 7046 frame. Sounds like I'll either have to stick to 23s or fit 25s and not use guards.
Cheers, D
