What size tire will fit my rim?
I have 700c "hybrid" rim. Visually, it looks wider than the rims on my road bike, but when I line them up its not by much. I'd like to put these tires on it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIBDHK0?psc=1 (700x25c). Can I take a ruler, measure the mililimeters, and so long as the gap is 25mm or less presume the tire fit?
