bianchi san jose tires
 

hello everyone

So I just purchased a used bianchi san jose and don't like the tires because I mainly ride on the road. I was wondering if i could just put some slicks on the stock rim. I am sorry for such a newbie question but I hope I can receive a quick and courteous response from the community. If it is possible can someone lead me to where I can purchase some fairly cheap tires that will fit.

Thank You

Yes. Anything marked 700c x 23 or larger should fit.

**** a 700x23. Go bigger than that, especially on that frame. I'd get some bomber 700x32's and pump em up.

I love my Panaracer Paselas. I run the 700x28c size. That size would be great on that bike and they are pretty inexpensive.

Check the rims. My San Jose came with non-hooked bead rims. High pressure, high quality road tires will not remain seated on non-hooked bead rims.l

They still sell non-hooked rims?

How would I know if they are non-hooked? sorry I am newb.

Weight savings.

I didn't think non hooked rims were made in the past few decades.

Pics or it didn't happen

If the San Jose in within the last three years, it is the same wheelset as the Pista, so the Alex rims are more likely than not hooked.
