Rear Tire Clearance - 2.5mm
Put a 700x28 rear tire on my Bianchi road bike, clears the brake bridge on tire top by 6 laminated business cards, about 2.5mm, at full pressure. Plenty of room on the sides. Is there are rule of thumb on how close you should go? On the front I'd be nervous, the back not so much...
