Yes, twice. Even tried swapping the front and rear tires. I think I need to face the facts that the tire doesn't fit. Now I need to decide whether to simply run a 25c up front or switch to a different set of 28c tires that run more true to size. I hear the Hardshells are taller than most other tires of the same size.

Anyone have any suggestions for nice 28c tires that are shorter than the Hardshells? Preferably something I can get at Retrogression. I've considered the Randonneurs, but am concerned about the low psi rating. Also intrigued by the ThickSlicks, but I don't know much about them.
