Regards, Sorin.
I'm using Mavic Monthlery Route (21.5mm) rims, I've put Vittoria Rubino Pro G+ 28mm on them.
Works fine and they're 28mm at 75 psi, I've done about 1k miles on them (with Orange Seal in them).
In theory 28mm gives a softer ride on city streets.

They are £35 at Merlin Cycles (UK): https://www.merlincycles.com/vittori...0c-140868.html

Edit: I'm using Tufo tape, haven't tried glue yet (15 months on tubulars).
