"fine" for steep banked track use where bb height is very important?
Well, it's important if the track management measure it before letting you play 🙂
28" tubulars are not the same size as 700C, they're about as big as 27" clinchers of the same cross section.
In the end, you just have to measure and see if you fit the rules at whatever track you're going to.

I mean, if it’s Glasgow then I’m the sheriff!
I want to be safe though.
Hadn’t thought about 28” tubs, had only really looked at 27” clinchers. I’ll have a look and see what’s available.
Edit: thought you meant that 28” tubs were a different thing to 700c tubs. Or, to be clear, 622 tubs.

"fine" for steep banked track use where bb height is very important? I have some nice TA cranks which I think will suit it but they are 170mm making then bb height even more important.
My colleague has a Flying Scot he uses on the track and I think it's a similar age and maybe also designed for 27s but running 700s.
I do intend to chuck my track wheels on it and see what the bb height is like once I'm back at work. I don't have any 23mm tyres at home or I would have done so already.
