So I have about a 1/2" of adjustment on this bike using these tires. that will change for the better as the tires wear or I find a 700C/25 tire that runs a little less height. I would rather not ride on the little 23's anymore, I'm running 32's on my Domane and 27.5 plus tires on my Scott hardtail, looking down at a 23 tire is just to much width shock!

I'm thinking, as is, I should have enough adjustment to handle normal chain wear and when I change gearing I'll just try and keep the changes small enough or balanced enough to work within the envelope.
