Currently using a Dura Ace 9000 front caliper (Front only as Fixed) with Continental GP4000sii 700x25
Now we all know these tyres measure bigger than they should.
I want to fit 28s.
Plenty of clearance on the rear as I had the frame made to accommodate although might lose a smidge of dropout usage.
On the front, I have plenty of fork clearance but not enough between tyre and caliper.
Wheels are 25mm wide (external) carbon so tyre 'height' is about going to be about 1mm from caliper.
Should I just stick with a 25 on the front or can anyone recommend a caliper that may offer better clearance?
