Sorry it's not just a yes or no answer.
Received my frame, nice looking. Threw some GP 5000’s on my CXP 33 wheels, I can see the max tire size is going to be 26mm or so. These tires are so-called 28mm as new from Conti, but on these wheels run small. Just as well. I have some GP 5000 in 30mm on order, doubt they’ll fit. I’m OK with it though. Nice looking frame,
