any tires that measure 28mm wide?
My Continental 28s measure 25mm at 90 psi, my Panaracer Pasela 35 measure about 32mm at 60 psi. So will Pasela 32s measure about 29 to 30? Any recommendations for a 700C tire that will end up around 28mm or less? I don't want to buy the Pasela 32s and find out they don't fit.

I just measured sets of identical 28mm Gatorskins on two bikes. They measure 26mm on the road bike with Velocity Aerohead rims and 28mm on the tandem with Velocity Dyad rims.

OK... this is telling me that rim width plays a part in this. I'll be using 19-20mm rims (outside measure), so maybe that's where the narrower measurement comes in?

My 32mm Pasela TG's measure about 30mm wide (shade over) on an Open Pro with about 70 psi. Used a caliper to measure.
