I'm a long-time backpacker dreaming of bikepacking/touring through beautiful places,........... but, for now, I'm forced to be a bit more street oriented and live/ride in an area where the traffic/street design often forces me off the pavement into the dirt shoulder (sometimes ungraded and downright brutal!) -- a form of "adventure-biking" I guess, LOL! Therefore, I'm seeking a set to accommodate 700c x 28-35s.

I'm getting mixed messages from D-back. One rep says the front is 15mm, the other says it's 12mm. Could you please clarify? THX!
