No doubt - these are good tires, I wish I had more clearance. In that shot, look at the top, and you'll see the chain links, for perspective. There's just not enough room for a quarter to slip past the chainstays, at least not on my 66cm QuickBeam.
The BG site says they're 43 mm wide, the informative sheet that ships with the tires says they're 44mm wide, and my own measurements (across widest points) showed 45.3 mm. I guess different rims might change the profile, I have Velocity Dyads and I measured the tires with approx 70 psi inflation. BTW, I have a buyer for the tires. - Andrew, Berkeley On Tuesday, July 10, 2012 8:44:03 AM UTC-7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: > > Hey there Andrew - > > And another thanks from me - I've been reading Mike-out-at-Black > Mountain Cycles posts regarding larger knobbier knibblies.
