I definitely need 700*25 with mudguards, but 700*28 will be great. I can use a half link chain to fine tune the track end length. I definitely need to add mudguards since I am going to ride it all year and I am going through some parks where they use a lot of salt in winter…
I am not using a rear brake on my current bike but I am going to ask for a rear brake option on the Vigorelli in case I need it in the future. I build my wheels with CXP22 rims which is 20.5mm wide, while Open Pro is 19.6mm so it may give a bit more space.
Some pictures will be much appreciated!!!
Will do when I get a chance. Re: position of the wheel, if you use Chromoplastics you can adjust the position of the guard very accurately with the mounting hardware. Also, if you get an extra set of the plastic clips ( http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/sks-secu-clips-for-front-mudguard-stays-per-pair-prod666/ ) you can use them on the rear, which allows you to pop the mudguard stays out, so you can get the wheel out of the rear of the track ends more easily.
