Hi All
Rutland Cycing currently appear to have a decent discount on the Cannondale 2016 CAAD 8 Claris, down from £599 to £399.

I know Claris is the lowest of Shimano's groupsets, but it appears that CAAD 8 frame and bike in general gets almost universally good reviews so can always look at upgrading parts later on.
Does anyone know whether the frame of the CAAD 8 and the stock Maddux RS3.0 wheels are able to take 28c tyres? They come with 25c as standard and can't find anything about whether they can take larger. The Claris version uses the Tektro R315 brakes which say they can take up to 28c but not sure if there is enough clearance on the frame.
Any CAAD 8 owners out there looked at fitting 28's on theirs?
Cheers
