25mm clearance
Hi
Looking for some advice.
I've got a Ti frame where the back wheel can fit a 25mm, but no more. 28mm just kisses the back of the seat tube. I'm running standard width rims and Rubino pro 25mm tyres but I do enjoy riding 28mm, especially in the winter.
Does anyone have experience of whether using a more modern wheel, say Hunts offerings, where a wider rim should spread the tyre out, which I am assuming would make it possible to put a wider tyre on as the profile is reduced, making some clearance.
If this isn't the case I'm thinking a wider rim should make a 25mm closer to a 28 anyway for the above reason so I can always just do this, but good to hear from others.

You could first try here. Lists height of most tyres available for comparison with what you have now. Not all models of tyres have the same diameter for listed size. https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.co ... ke-reviews0
