Hi
I am running factory original Specialist branded 700 x 26C tyres on my 2016 Specialist Roubaix. I will need new tyres soon.

I commute 16km each way on my bike and there is a lot of broken glass on the road edge. I want a tough wide tyre like this one.

Continental don't make a 700 x 26C version, but they do make a 700 x 32C tyre.

Is anyone able to tell me if a 700 x 32C will fit my bike?

Those are not commuting tires. If you encounter broken glass the tires to get for commuting are the Gatorskin Hardshells.

32’s on a rim brake bike like that I doubt they will fit. Stick to 25s and 28s which is the max.

The 28s are likely to fit but be aware that a tire stamped 28 may actually be wider.

I have what I believe is the same frame (2014 Roubaix Expert) and have 28s Continental Tubeless on Shimano C24 rims. I believe my Roubaix originally had Fulcrum rims with Specialized's own brand of tire labeled 25/28 which I thought was unusual. I love tubeless though getting Contis on any rim is a real pain on every rim I have.

Hi
The specs for my bike are here.
The 700 x 26C tyres just fit between the brake shoes.
I see the Gatorskins are available in sizes 25C and 28C. Ideally, I would like to fit the larger 28C for comfort and puncture protection.

I've got a 2016 Roubaix in the Expert flavor. The wheels are the original Fulcrums. I just put Specialized Turbo Pro 28s on them. They just fit. The front is very close to the brake bridge and the back is very close to the downtube and chain stays. I couldn't go any wider than that.

Since all tires mount differently size-wise, don’t be surprised if 28’s don’t fit. If you go with Gatorskins have your bike shop put them on. Bring a folding
chair and a beer and enjoy the show.

Hi
700 x 28C Gatorskins fit my 2016 Specialist Roubaix.

Depends on how wide your rims are.
