MisterMikkel-
Cheers @MisterMikkel - was doing a bit of reading about it yesterday and someone very reasonably pointed out the advantage of having enough room to get home on a slightly buckled wheel.
Which is a shame as it would be nice to go up to 40mm... but also a blessing as it means I don't have to buy another set of tyres!
Gonna head out later and see how they cope.

So I now have 38mm tyres on the Dawes. They actually only measure about 32mm so I think I could even bigger if I want to (the 32mm GKs came up as 28mm on these rims), but I'm not sure about clearances for off road riding.... what do people think - Can I go a couple of mm bigger or this already close enough?
I've heard 40mm is enough for almost anything.
