Hi,
I am looking for advice about tyre and tube size for a pair of alloy rims I was given. The rims in question are Weimann 700c-17 x 622 and I would like to know what would be the widest tyre and suitable size of tube I could fit. I am presuming the max size of tyre would be 23mm?
The frame they will be going on is a 1981 Nishiki Rally (also given to me) which originally was fitted with 27x1¼ as stated in the catalogue. My link . As far as I'm aware I shouldn't encounter any problems fitting 700's to the frame apart from maybe having to fit a longer drop brake calliper. But I would appreciate if someone could confirm this for me.
Thanks.
Steve.
