Tyŕe clearance

[jowwy]

Just put the 650Bs on the Ti with 47mm WTB horizons......

I got about 2mm clearance either side of the tyre on the chainstays.

Question - would you ride it with such a tight clearance???

Not me with the crud on offer round these parts. Would excessive abrasion from aggregate have a thinning effect on the chain stays resulting in an early conversion to a unicycle?

Nice rounds those WTBs.

It's titanium and not a lot of aggregate on cycle paths.........so unsure

Bit too close for me.

Put the power down and the rim and tyre will flex enough to touch the stays.

Yup was thinking the same, just wanted a 2nd opinion on my exact thoughts

I'd put some heli tape in the vulnerable areas, but provided the wheel secure and bearings sweet I'd ride it.

Decathlon do a set of nice yellow tyre levers for less than £3

To take your tyres off and put some other ones on

For removing tyres from wheels.

Not needed as those wheels are fitting nicely into the allroad flat bar with di2, I just wanted to try them in the Ti
