Plumbing fixtures hybrid tyres to a road cycle
Howdy All,
I'one thousand keen to fit some hybrid tyres and wheels to my road wheel and so I can get downwardly a few un-paved roads on my way to work. Is this a good idea? It's a BTwin Triban 3 54' frame. IS there anything anyone can recommend?
Thanks for whatsoever aid.
(first post - sorry if I've started this thread in the wrong place!)

Bike cycle rims, simply like car wheel rims accept a recommended range of tire widths that tin fit on them. Rims that run 23c tires as standard can handle 25c and even 28c tires only anything larger than that is too large. Thats just the rims however and you need to consider tire clearance on the bicycle frame. Most road frames should be able to handle 25c but some loftier operation frames won't have the clearance for 28c.
You demand to look carefully at your frame and see how much clearance you take.

I have a similar wheel the triban 500, I call up the frames are more than or less the same; you're not going to be able to fit annihilation bigger than a slick 25mm tyre on to it.
Edit: I haven't actually tried with 28mm simply i'm 95% sure they won't fit on there as 25mm are very tight.

Yea, Mensurate. the limit on a road bicycle is the frame clearance and the restriction reach.

Some road bikes like Expedition Lemonds tin fit upwardly to 30 c tires. But hybrid tires? They simply don't have the clearance!
Get a gravel road/adventure or flat bar hybrid cycle if you want to ride with wider tires.

I recently did the same thing on my road bike (cheque out the other thread in the gravel biking subforum). 28c is probably the most hybrid tire you can fit on at that place, simply that depends on your fork, brakes, and rear frame (check the clearance betwixt the tire and the seat tube likewise).
I settled on Schwalbe marathon tires as they supposedly have bulletproof lining. There were a few other recommendations in that thread.

Comes in 25c/28c versions. The bigger the meliorate, use a caliper to check your clearances. I run 55/70 psi for 15% tire drop and so far so good. You may need to switch to bigger tubes too.
My bike is now pretty comfy off-road. I can ride through brush and gravel pretty well. No-proceed sand.

Looking at images of that bike on the web information technology doesn't wait like it'll take a much bigger tire due to how close the regular tire is to the brake caliper already.
