do I need da different set of wheels if going above 25mm tyres? I'm currently running Mavic Aksiums.

    Mavic site should give you recommendations for what they think will be min and max for their rims

    Should be fine I've got a set of rubino pro tech 28s on mine although they only measure about 26 across

    How do you find them, ITB? I only got to ride my set on the Boardman CX which kinda overwhelmed the feel of the tyre at the Rapha HOTN. I need a similar tyre for the Rapha Prestige 200k (which also has off-road) and I'm trying to decide to use the Rubinos or my 27c Paves.

    As you know I used on the HOTN and they performed faultlessly comfortable at low pressure and rough varied terrain couldn't ask for more really.
