Hi all,
I'm getting towards needing a new pair of tires. Have 25mm tires on there right now and want to go up to 28mm. There's the Schwalbe One and Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II that both come in 28C, and then there are even more boutique options like the Challenge Paris Roubaix.
Looking at the impressive amount of room that the Domane offers, I'm even curious as to whether it could handle the Strada Biancas from Challenge: 30mm tires would certainly be pushing it, but with reports that people have no issues with 28mm clearance, one wonders if it could work.
Any thoughts? Or better, empirical evidence? My Domane sometimes hits gravel and definitely goes through its fair share of German forest backroads, and the most width possible would definitely be a plus for me. On top of that, I signed up yesterday for the 2015 Tour of Flanders sportive, and it's time to be looking forward.
