25mm Tyres on Narrow(ish) rims

I currently run 23c Conti GP400S2 on my DA C24 wheels.

Would it be safe to use the 25c Contis on these wheels? The Contis seem to be wider than their specs would suggest.

It certainly would be safe, whether your frame & forks have enough clearance to take 25c is another matter.

I have run those tyres on some RS80s without any issues and the rims are exactly the same as the DA C24s. I certainly wouldn't go any larger though. As above, check for possible clearance issues before buying.

The bike came with DT Swiss R24 wheels with the 25mm contis on there - so clearance is no problem.

Thanks
