I inevitably put some Berthouds on the Bottecchia. They were an absolute nightmare to fit because the fork crown is quite narrow and the SK Gravelkings rubbed on the folded sides. So I had to convince them with the help of some pliers and a dremel - blasphemy I know. Now the tyres are no longer rubbing but they’re a very tight fit. Took the bike on a 200k shakedown ride on mixed terrain today and I’m very happy to report that they still don’t rub :)
