How wide are the rims, are they OEM spec still? (We've had more then one older bike that when "up graded" to current trendy wider rims end up not having much/any tire clearance with the older tires). I assume the bike has seen a number of different skinny (23?) tires in the search. I say this because the labels are not the actual dimensions and playing with tires "suggested" widths is an age old marketing device to drive sales. When things get tight or close there's no method like actual trying to be sure. Bummer that the bike is so restrictive but I guess that's part of the untold cost to buying on the ragged edge. Andy
