I have 700&38 tyres on my my bike at the moment and iam thinking of replacing them with something less puncture prone. I would like to know what width tyre (e.g. 37 32 etc) I can put on my rims, they are about 27mm wide

The clearance to the frame/mudguards/other stuff is normally the issue. Remember xx mm from different manufacturers can differ significantly between manufacturers. So its a case of checking the spec sheets or asking your nice, knowledgeable man at the LBS. T

Also, if you haven't got one a pump with a pressure gauge, if only to keep at home. Gary -- The email address is for newsgroups purposes only and therefore unlikely to be read.
