Re: Tyres for Dawes Audax
Hello, From memory I think you would be restricted to 23mm with mudguards.

I'd estimate as long as the guards aren't wonky or anything, you might get 28's under there, but I've never tried it. It *looks* like there's space. Have no idea bout 32's. -- Velvet |

Mine certainly does  The best reference I've found for tyre sizing is Sheldon Brown's page on the subject: <URL: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire_sizing.html>. Specifically the green and red table near the bottom. -- Andrew Chadwick |

I've got a '98 Dawes Audax. Have always used 700x28 and SKS mudguards. Have had many different (slick types mainly) brands and find there's bags of space. Have never tried anything bigger but you could try one, your LBS would probably swap it for a 28 if nec. Halfords certainly would. (or borrow one to try). Paul. |

Had a look at my brother-in-law's Dawes Audax on Saturday - currently shod with Schwalbe 25mm tyres. There looks reasobable clearance for 28mm - 32 may be pushing it a bit for mudguard clearence although frame clearance looks fine. The simplest solution is to find a freindly LBS who will let you try the tyres and buy the ones that fit, you will pay a little more than mail order but only the once! HTH Julia |
