Good tires that measure 25mm on boyd altamont

[R3awak3n]

So I have a new frame that will not fit anything over 25mm comfortably. I got some vittoria rubinos that I was saving for this, 25mm but when in the rim they measure more liek 27mm. Well, they are about 1mm on each side on the stays.

So I need something that measures 25mm on the dot and on a wide rim, at least as wide as a boyd altamont lite

I have paves in 27, lightly used, how big are yours? 25? maybe we could trade

it would seem a reasonable guess that if 25c rubinos measure out to 27mm on your rims, 23c rubinos would measure out to 25mm?

you're probably upstate, but i have a ton of tires over here if you want to drop by one day/evening and test fit a bunch. i dont have any rims that wide or i would do it.

More simply, you could sell me the Altamonts.

thanks for the offer Nick! I am indeed upstate but back in the city next week so if I can't get an answer for sure that is a sure fire way.

you don't happen to have a vittoria corsa g+ in 23 do you?

that is really the tire I want, I saw somewhere the 25 measures more like 27 so does the 23 measure 25?

Veloflex 25’s will serve you well.

Maybe enev less. Just a touch though.

[R3awak3n]

Well I have always wanted to try veloflexes

[exapkib]

As soon as I saw this thread I clicked on it to suggest the Veloflexes. You won't be sorry.

I think those are in my future. Now, should Igo black or gum on a white bike

The answer is always gumwall.



My Lobster has brownwall Panaracers, but I'm going to switch to something with brighter sidewalls when they wear out, this Stelbel looks tops:

I dig both of those, I think tan wall it is.
