You know how it works. If I order 28's they will actually measure 28mm and not fit my frame clearance. Then I will have to return themNext time buy 28's

To measure a tyre section, ETRTO has defined:
A tyre said to be a section of 28mm should be measured on a rim of 17mm internal width at 6 bars (87 PSI) after 24 hours.

- The rim width on which each tyre section must be measured
- The pressure at which it must be measured, taking into account that the casing of a brand new tyre will stretch within the first 24 hours of inflation, so the measurement should be done after those 24 hours

All donations gratefully received, stuff Jnr, they might do for me. What are the 28s? Not some of those bloody awful Marathons I hope!

Some Continental wired ones that came with my single-speed, I'll have a sort out and see what I have going spare.
