Tire suggestion
 
I am due for new tires on my Brodie Dynamo. The rims are Alex TD-17, and it came with stock
Kenda Kwest 32c rubber. Can I go down to a 28c tire with these rims?
Thank you

you can typically go as skinny as the outside width of the rim. when you get down that skinny, you won't have much air, so you have to run really high PSI. but yeah, 28's should work fine on a bike that came with 32c

Why do you want to go skinnier?

What is the purpose of the new tires.

Do you like your current tires, save for the width? If so, you could always get a smaller width. I've had great luck with my 700x28c Kwests!

You can also opt for higher quality tires, even in the same width, and notice an improvement, while still enjoying the comfort.
