I'm trying to work out whether I have enough clearance for a 32c tyre in my frame before buying one.

Does anyone have an old used one they were about to throw out I could come and pick up?

Cheers!

If no luck, you can try adding to the width of a tyre that's in situ by cutting an old/wide inner tube or other material you can wrap around the tyre and just tape around it to follow the shape of the tyre, that way you can build up the layers to reach the 32mm width in one section to see what the clearance is.
Something like pipe lagging foam might also work to bulk out an existing tyre.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
