Hi All,
I have been eyeing up a Somec Dynamic minimax on eBay.
Any one familiar with these - I was wondering about tyre clearances. I want to get 25c on there as minimum.
Cheers

I'm not familiar with these in specific but I am with nineties road bikes in general. 25's as a minimum will be very tricky. My experience is that 25's are mostly a maximum (those days, we used to ride 21's most of the time, you know...). When riding 25's on some of my bikes, I first have to deflate them before I can get the rear wheel in.

Ha yes I hear you on that. Jamming 23c's onto nightmare tight mavic rims and nicking the tube with metal levers. Makes sense 25c is likely to be the max. I have emailed the seller.

I recall even 19c in the day. To think 32c now is not unusual on a road bike!
