    "Clearance" is basically the size of tyre you can physically fit on your bike without it rubbing on the frame and/or brake levers.

    Thanks for the response.

    Looks to me there is plenty of clearance.

    Just want to check the 23 - 25 is that reference to the width of the tyre rather than the height.

    I have checked and I have 10mm height clearance between top of brake calliper and more to the bottom of the frame by the bottom bracket.

    There is 5 - 8 mm clearance left and right of the chain stays.

    So pretty sure this 25's will fit.

    Thanks
