Pic says it all...trying to fit 700 x 32 tyres on Specialized Allez frame...should have Googled first!
Can i get brakes to work or just go with say 28c tyres?
Also, the chuffing flat bars i bought don't fit stem!
No they arent vertical so its a tyre rethink most likely. Shame as i wanted some gravel use!If you have vertical dropouts, is there any scope for lowering the wheel a few mm? Could bodge a shim the make it more secure?
Long drop calipers will NOT help. They won't move the brake mount higher up in the frame.
All you can do is downsize your tyres and pray you never have the urge to fit mudguards.
I think Mr Roadkill was thinking about something like this....

And a longer drop brake?
