Well, I know that a Continental GP4000s 25mm clincher will fit comfortably. But that is the biggest I've tried.

I have used 25mm Michelins with it, which actually measured closer to 27mm.

Sounds cool my current fork will not even hold a 25c without rubbing the brake if not setup super tight.

I have 25mm PR4's mounted in Pacenti SL23 rims. Tires measure 27.5mm. There's about 2-3 mm of clearance at the sides, which is probably as tight as you'd want to go.
There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

Okay I was hoping it would fit 28mm Continental Grand Prix 4 Seasons but that might be a little too much.

Contis tend to run small.

I have a 28mm 4 seasons on a bike that I'll measure and post later.

I just went out and looked at mine and it looks like there is a good 2mm all around. So I suspect a 28 would fit, but just barely.

I was right about contis running small.

my 28mm 4 seasons on Open Pro rim measures 27mm wide - so 0.5mm less than what's working OK on the easton sl90 fork.

Very cool. I am thinking about getting the fork for my commuter bike which has little clearance and I can get the fork for a good price.

I've run 27mm Vittoria pave tubulars (320tpi and 290tpi) on a bike wth a Easton EC90 SL fork (straight legs). Not a whole lot of room, but not too little for comfort. That bike is not with me at the moment, but I recall the tires measured about 28mm or slightly over.
