Huge bike tyre problem !
23 Answers
I made a stupid mistake recently.
I bought the biggest thickest off road tyres I could get for my prized titanium xc mountainbike. They're Specialised "clutch" folding tyres and were fairly expensive.
Here's the mistake: the back one *only just* fits inside the chain stays and rather than returning them, I decided to give it a bit of a 'haircut' - just a little skim off the knobbles at the edges. There is now about 2 mm clearence on each side and it's still not enough (it rubs when I'm pedalling hard or cornering).
Now here's the question - can anyone think of a better way of taking off more other than continuing with my heavy duty scissors ?
