Help Needed- Campy Ypsilon Rims
Can 25mm tires be used on Campy Ypsilon Aero rims? Do any of you know where I can find a spec sheet? My brother-in-law has a set, and asked if I knew someplace to find this kind of information. I said "of course I do"
Thanks
Thanks

Just use calipers and the pair he has. 25mm tires aren't a new invention of the wider is better trend, they've been around for decades and would have been a normal usage for someone who wanted a more comfortable ride or and heavier and slower training tire. The tire might have a slight lightbulb look but nothing unsafe unless you're pushing the limits of cornering. This is assuming this is an old aluminum version and not something new I'm unaware of.

I'm running a pair of 25mm on mine right now. Quality rim, I find them underrated. I'm sure the price for quality margin aided in that.
Here's a link to the 1990 and 1992 Campagnolo Rims catalogue I found on the web. The numbers seem to be the same throughout the years:

Campy Ypsilon Rims
Campagnolo made the Lambda V Profile Strada aero clincher rims in 3 flavors: Omega - brown hard anodized, Ypsilon - silver anodized and Lambda - polished.
1989 Catalog shows 19-25mm tires.
I have a set of the V Profile Omegas on my early 80's DeRosa running 700c x 25 Continental Gran Prix Classic tires. No problems.
