How tight is too tight?
Just mounted some 28's on the Merlin. They are plump. I have about 2-3mm to the chainstays. Thoughts? Brake bridge, front derailuer and fork are all good.

As my grandfather used to say, "Tight is tight enough."

2-3mm on each side should be fine as long as your rims stay straight and true.

2-3mm is the just enough. Any less would be an issue.

My rule of thumb is around 3mm for road and 5-6mm for mountain.
As stated, if its close, keep your rims true. |

The stand won't reveal the answer. You're going to have to ride it and see. Out of the saddle efforts up a hill ought to tell you if there is enough room!

Why is everyone going with these fat-assed tires? Guess I'm stuck in the old school...
