tire / rim question
I am new here and have many questions that probably have very simple answers, I hope.
My hybrid had 700 x 35 tires, I put on 38, but they are too heavy, can I fit a 32 size on these rims. I saw a Michelin Dynamic, is this a decent tire for under $20?
The bike, a Raleigh dash is about 20 yrs old, when I am in some gears, lower ones where I am putting alot of pressure in my pedal going up a hill, I hear and feel a a bump( no slip), its either in the chain or freewheel. What should I do? No stress on the pedal its ok.
Thanks

Short answer yes.
Longer answer: check this link (New Posters Please Read This First). Sheldon Brown site has an excellent article on tire size options.

aka Phil Jungels
I'd be checking my crank arms for the clunk you talk about ....... before you do more damage....
