I have read through several discussions on similar topics, however none with a frame of my vintage, or the exact combination of rim/tires.
Does anyone have experience directly with this or equivalent combinations that they could share?
I know the bike came with 27" wheels and 1 1/4 tires with the room for fenders, which by the basic math suggests that 35mm would be ok, but I would rather know with greater certainty before ordering these items as returns here in Portugal are expensive. I would ideally like to retain room for correctly sized Honjo fenders as well.
Thank you in advance for any advice. I hope this topic isn't beaten to death and apologize if that is the case.
