Yeah my 2200 had a tight fit even with a 25cm tire. When the new frame comes, check out the 23 Armadillo or even a 20 in another brand. And keep in mind that the size on the package may be smaller than actual.
As several people stated, wear and tear happens no matter what. But the tire will probably need about a 1cm clearance maybe more to prevent that sort of frame damage. My own experience... Can anyone actually site the actual clearance tire should have?
