Schwalbe Road Plus HS431 Tyre with Reflex - 700 622

Question

TYRE CLEARANCE

By Jude Binns

Hi. I've just attempted to fit some 700x28 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres to my road bike to replace some old 700x23 tyres, but unfortunately there is not enough clearance on the brake calliper and the front derailleur bracket due to the increased tyre wall depth. The width isn't a problem. Is there another 28 tyre with a decent level of puncture resistance and a similar tread pattern that you could recommend that would give adequate clearance? Many thanks Jude

This will simply be trial and error, we could not suggest a tyre that we know has a lower height without sacrificing puncture protection.
