I checked and for the rear I can get up to a 28 in there with good flex clearance to spare. For the front, I feel like a 25 is about all I can muster while maintaining enough flex/rub room.

I'll have to measure clearance but I feel like I have quite a bit. I didn't realize I had so many options for 700c tire width.

Any way to get away from 700c ?

Need shorter cranks on a Shim BB-5500.

Is there anything between 155 and 160 available for that style of BB ? If not, is there anything that I can swap to to make it happen? Currently has 39/53, and I'm not dead set on keeping that...

Rear derailleur harsh engagement on one gear only.

Shimano 105 has a nice crisp engagement on the upshift under load, on all gears, except for the #5 sprocket (may be the #6). As noted, the others are crisp and instant, and I can upshift while...

Are these bikes still somewhat competitive? I know the rider makes the difference. I’ve come across one I can get in relatively decent shape for $300. It has the Shimano 105 gear.

Opportunity to buy a time trial bike
