Road bikes that easily fit a 700x30 tire.
I'm considering a road bike with either caliper or disc brakes that will easily fit a 700x30. I'd like to use the 700x30 Schwalbe G One Speed, these measure about 31.5mm wide on a Velocity A23 rim. I know dozens of road bikes can accept a 700x28, but I'm planning on using the bike on rural farm roads, including firm gravel and 28mm are not always wide or plush enough. I'd like to have the responsive and performance of a road bike and don't want the slack geometry or heavier feel of a gravel bike.
What comes to mind?
