T3 Wheels / Tyres

[staff1975]

Hi,

I am waiting delivery of my T3. What size are the wheels? What size spare inner tubes do I need to buy? Can I fit bigger tyres without having to buy bigger wheels? I'm pretty new to cycling so can anyone suggest some other accessories I will need. I've already bought a couple of bottles and cages and a pair of padded shorts (essential from previous experiences). All advice very welcome.

assuming your T3 is a 54cm or larger, then it will have 700x23c tyres on it. You can fit upto 25c on the smaller frames without too many issues - but on my 54cm that leaving clearances very small and I do get a build up of mud around the brake calipers (I live rurally on muddy lanes). This is not something my OH on the 60cm T3 experiences with the identical 700x25c tyres.
(The 51cm T3 is 650x23c btw)
