mmm ... good point. I had the same problem with running the 30mm Cypres on my brevet bike, and eventually when I swapped them out for 28mm Panaracer Paselas, I found that I was able to take my fenders in enough to remove concerns about toe overlap. I noticed on the VBQ site that there are a set of 28mm Cypres tires available, and that has me tempted. My first experience with the Cypres were colored by experiencing a higher than average rate of flats, but I've seen enough people talk up the wonders of their tires, that I'm willing to chalk it up to the folly of getting one of the first sets of the 700C tires which may have had some production kinks Still my experience with riding a Cypres in the New England winter would lead me away from using them on fire roads or poor surfaces.
