Maybe I have gone too wide?

Vaportrail56 I know your focus is tires but I noticed the angle of your saddles and suggest that you make them at least level which will take some of the pressure off your hands. Maybe even point them up a genre or two. Also do some work on your core. We have to manage ride quality as a system more carefully at our age. But ya, commuting on my 86 Cannondale that only fits 25s is not as relaxing as on my old steel Peugeot on 28s.

new calipers would spruce up the looks - but you could also try soaking the bolts etc in EvapoRust or similar

Update: I put a 28 on the back to match the front and everything is good now, no rubbing. I have a nice comfortable ride. I would like to thank everyone for the tips and suggestions, it has helped me a lot.Later
