Confused about tyre/ rim compatibility

chockydavid1983

Hi guys,

I think I've pretty much decided to get this bike:
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-500-s ... 06187.html

I'll get the raceblade mud guards and pannier

I am keen to get a puncture resistant tyre though as I'll be using it for commuting (happy top sacrifice speed for comfort).
Can I get these?

I'm a bit confused about the sizing- does 700c x 25c mean they're 25mm wide?

Thanks,
Chris.

25c does mean they are 25mm wide, but the tyres you link to are not 25, they are 35 - and there will not be enough clearance on the bike you linked to. 25 or 28 is probably about as wide as you could go.

Thanks Imposter, that's good to know.
Sorry about that- the link does open with 700c x 35c but you can select 700c x 25c from the dropdown box.

Thanks,
Chris.
