anyone here tried the 700x20? i'm rolling with 700x23 and noticed it's a bit fatter on the sidewalls...

20's are for people who are riding roads with nice flat area's. Otherwise, you're to feel every little crack, gap, or pebble you encounter on a roadway.

Hey Ross, There should be a direction arrow on the sidewall showing correction direction. I just pulled one off the self & there was do direction arrow on the 26x 2.0 I looked at, how ever they should be mounted so that the sipping (groves in tread) force water away from the center towards the sidewall. So looking at the photo with product, that tire would be rolling towards the camera, if it was rolling away it would pull water into the center of road contact & could result in hydroplaning.

195 or 200, I forget which. It's very large and noticeable compared to 156 on an NXT.

I just bought a digital frame and have the same question. Supposedly it's 480x220 but just like you - that leaves space top and bottom. I tried various other dimensions but have yet to fill the frame. 450x240 is close but not quite there and the frame is probably doing some unwanted manipulation to the picture.Have you gotten any clues from elsewhere?

Probably not. I was just tire shopping this weekend, looking for something a little wider for the Minneapolis winter, and the person at the shop thought that 700x32 was the upper limit of what these could reasonably fit. I went with 28s. They seem to be made with the 23-25 range in mind, but the 28s seem to be working fine.

You'd want 700c x 19-28 it's really personal preference. For me in the city I run 700x28. The key here is the 700 part.

I have 285/70R17 on and it's fine with no spacers, cutting or rubbing. Looks great. http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-comparison/ should help you decide some changes (it will affect your spedo and other stuff unless you re-program the computer). I also considered a 255/80R17, which would fit too and is a bit taller, but didn't like any of the tires I could get.http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/threads/greenhorn-tire-question-2007-nbs-tall-and-skinny-or-fatter.151115/#post-618700 is a forum post by me with some pictures half way down with new and old sizes

When you say tube, the tube size depends on the tire size. So, a 700x23 tire would take what you seem to be saying is a 20-25 tube. A 700x25 tire would require, obviously, the larger size tube. Having ridden both, my preference is definitely the "skinnier" tire--700x23. Might give up a little in comfort, but you will gain less rolling resistance.

Mine has held up fine to 7.62x39. Has not lost its zero yet after 100's of rounds. Best bet would be to try it and if it fails send it back. Good luck

From what I've read, the Conti GP 4-Seasons only come in three sizes - 23, 25 & 28mm. The 700x28's are what I bought to replace my old Vittoria 700X32's. The 700x28 is a significantly narrower tire (which is what I wanted) and they actually measure closer to 26mm. The benefit is a significantly faster-rolling tire than any 32-35mm tire (and most other 28's, too!). The negative is a harsher ride, especially compared to big, cushy 35mm's. I've had a few flats with them, so they're not as 'bulletproof' as they're made out to be, but all-in-all, they're great tires!

I see what you mean on the size issue. I would suggest you contact the seller to clarify. I use it on a 60 " and love the way it moves side to side and tilts.

I have them in 700x28 with UltegraBrakes with plenty of clearance. This is a good tour tire not a road race tire.

I have two. Running a 4x16x44 on one flat top. And a 1x4x24 on another..... They work great.... Highly reccommend...... The specs should be on th leuopold website..... If you can't find it I'll measure

Hi George, It's really personal preference but I would stay with the 27 X 1-1/4. When running a wider tire than recommended it tends to move on the rim when cornering . On low pressure applications this isn't a problem because the tire flexes but at high pressure applications the tire can't flex and can break the bead causing a blowout or flat.
