I have some 28c clement stradas on a mavic xm319 which I think is a 19mm internal width rim. I can measure them up if it helps.
I'm looking for a similar tyre but in a 32c if anyone has any recommendations.

My experience with Archetypes, is that tyres come up one size larger, ie 23mm tyre measures 25mm.
So if 28mm on a narrow rim is tight, then I can't see 28mm on a wide rim fitting.
However, 25mm/wide will ride at least as well as 28mm/narrow.

Just wondering if anyone can help with some tyre-sizing advice - currently running Pasela 28's on my 2013 Genesis Equilibrium on a 19mm rim and they just about fit under the guards I've got on there. Am doing LEJOG in a few weeks, have some archetypes to build up and looking for tyres. Will Clement Strada 28s on the wider rim come up any bigger than the paselas? Is there enough of an advantage to the 28s on wide rims over the 25s to justify the slight risk of them not fitting under the guards? Cheers
