- Let's put it this way, "How much clearance do your frame and brakes have?"
- You can run 700x45C tires on these w/o problems (Bruce Gordon has been selling
- bikes with this combination for years). Mountain bikes used very fat (2"+)
- tires on these rims also. The Hi-Lite Tours (good tires, by the way) will
- be no problem.
