Largest tires on Cannondale
Hello!
I have a 1990 vintage Cannondale 3.0 road bike and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the largest tires I could fit on it would be. This is a great bike for most of my riding except when I want to go down one of many loose dirt roads in my area. The 700x20 Specialized tires fitted now just dig into anything not hard packed. Once I tried installing 700x32 hybrid tires that barely fit in the frame, but they hit the top of the brake calipers due to the larger diameter. Perhaps a 25 or 28 with some tread?
Thanks
Dave
