Hmm. I was just going to start a thread asking about my 27" to 700c woes.

So I have a '73 World Voyageur shod with Velo Orange 42mm fenders.

I got myself some CR18 wheels, and decided to throw on the only 32mm tires I had around - Bontrager 'race' all weather hard case from my 7.3FX hybrid.

The rear loads in and spins fine. For some reason, the front is rubbing on the fork crown, or the portion of the fender on the fork crown.

I had 27x1-1/4 on there previously, which is 32mm. Oddly, these Bontragers definitely seem wider (and taller?) than the tires on there before. Does this mean my fork won't accept a 32mm tire with fender? What did I do wrong?

Thanks!
