Maximum tire clearence for Easton EC20 fork and Nashbar Caliper brakes?`
What is the widest tire I can get with a Easton EC70 road fork, and Nashbar calipers. I want to go up to 28s, but I don't know if they'd fit...

Measuring will give you some idea, but you can never be too sure. The problem is that all tires are made differently and sit differently when mounted on a different rim. For instance, on my road bike I once raced a CX race on a super skinny set of with '28c' knobby tires, but the 28c road tire I bought last summer rub on the fork crown. If I were you I would measure and, if it seems likely to work, ask the LBS if I could return the tire in the event that it does not fit when mounted, then try another.
