Got back onto this project today. Still trying to sort out the proper wheel/tire solution based on the tight rear end.
Mounted up some new Vittoria Corsa G 2.0 in 700 x 23 size today. Was a bit of challenge finding good 23c skinwall tires this time.
As expected mounting was a bear even after I warmed up the tires. These rims are a bit difficult to mount anything on and the flat, tight Corsa tires where a challange. Had to break out the VAR tire tool for these.
I also dealt with the rim tape issue on these wheels. They had those crappy rubber things on there. I didn't have the right width Velox tape but wanted to get these tires on. So for now I put down a layer of cloth first aid tape and then put the rubber liners back on. I'll order some Velox in so I can do this properly eventually.
If I have time and the right BB I may build this one up over the weekend.
Now there's a reasonable amount of room between the rear tire and the crimped seat tube.
Otherwise these tires clear quite well.
