Im a little meh about that because they don’t distinguish between a marked 28 and a real 28. Like a 25 corsa would measure 30.xmm anyway. I know that the Hambini test used a 23mm GP4k on this wheel. I can’t imagine buying a wheel for the aero and then being forced to compromise stability and speed. If putting a measured 28 (basically a marked 23) kills me, I’ll be sure to make a thread about it.

On that note - has anyone seen a tire blow off strictly due to being too narrow before (and not having insufficient rim tape or whatever)?
