Replacing a 28c rear wheel with a 32c rear wheel.
I need a new rear wheel for my beater & I'm skint.
The only one I've been able to find in my price range requires a 32c tyre. Will this be too wide for my frame? TIA -- A useless life is an early death. Goethe |

"It depends" How much clearance is there between the 28-xxx tyre and the frame and mudguard? You might get away with a 28 tyre on the rim. 23 and 28 aren't /that/ far apart.
