Biggest tyre on an Equilibrium Disc?

I'm looking at an Equilibrium Disc as a year round roadbike. Does anybody know what the biggest tyre is that would fit on a widish rim? Riding on 28s for the past few years but wouldn't mind sizing up.
Thanks.

30mm, summat like Strada Bianca, or maybe 32mm at a squeeze, I ran 32mm paselas on mavic a719s in an Equilibrium 853 frame, quite tight.

Thanks jontea. Hmmm, head: Equilibrium, heart: Bowman Pilgrims...

Don't know much about Bowman, seems decent, maybe have a look at Pinnacle Arkose for ali frame, bit cheaper and well received on here. Steel may be a bit comfier for road use, unless you want the stiffness of an ali frame?

New 2016 forks have a bit more clearance (28c + guard/32c w/o). Also +5mm added to chainstays to improve clearance (420mm)...

Saw the 2016 frameset on facebook but it would make me run to the painters to change the horrible (imho) paint design and make the frameset as expensive as the Pilgrims. Looked at Arkose as well but to me it looks too much like a cyclocross bike with the big a-c. Bike will be my only road bike and needs to be sundays best and winter bike with guards.

Sounds like you need to decide whether you want a steel or alu frame

My thoughts exactly. Two completely different frames being considered.

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
