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.

One size wider rather than larger, as it get a tiny bit less height than on narrow rims.

@owl probably best to go for 25mm GP4000s, best thing about wide rims is that the 25mm feel like 28mm.

Why GP4000s over Stradas? Twice the price is punchy, do you not think the Stradas are up to it re puncture protection?

Quite right, I could have been clearer.
