I was hoping to run 28s, but I don't think that will work on the wider Sun Rhyno Lites, which are 22mm inside and 27.4mm outside...
As a test, I slid in a set of 700c Pacenti Brevets with 30c Vittoria Corsas from my '74 Paramount. It's hard to tell from a picture, but I can just fit a 6mm hex between the 30c tire and the chainstay, so approximately 42mm clearance, from my math. The seat stay and brake bridge have plenty of room for more tire. Maybe I could run 35mm tires? Does that violate some C&V rule?
