The fag paper clearance on my TT bikes front fork. Be okay if it was 700c and I had a choice of tyres, but its a 650c, and has decided that a corsa cx III at 23mm might as well be for a gravel bike. It hates the tiny raise, near the valve area. Took a file to the underneath of the brake caliper, which should do the trick, as CX's are the only tyre I can afford to feed its habit. A cheapo juniores by continental is meant to be 21mm... they lied... badly. Continental competitions at 22mm that would fit are a gopping £62 ea. Grrr... My brother has a theory that the hub is suspended by the spokes in rotation ever so slightly so hoping weighted in the morning when I pop out for a spin it'll be right. (Yep it was fine) Put it this way... for a brake caliper to be ideal for this you'd need a reach of 35mm...
