Hi

I have put 25 mm tyres on my CAAD 10 and it keeps catching the brake calipers on the highest point of the tyre. Has anyone else had this problem?

No problem with 6800 calipers and Schwalbe One 25s. What tyre/caliper are you running?

What wheels/ rims do you use? Wider rims make the tires stand taller.

Really? I'm running the older-style Red calipers, Pacenti SL23s with Schwalbe One 25mm tires and have oodles of room.

Yep....I had that problem with 4 season 25s and Force 22 brakes on my CAAD10. I was running XC279 rims.

it's digusting that cannondale just ignore all the problems that are having, why should people try and fix it themselves when the problem is with their product, a lot of people are having creaky BBs on dales and yet bike magazines/websites still give them good reviews.

The problem here is the caliper clearance, not the frame. It's arguably not even a problem, as it's only very recently "racing" bikes considered clearance for more than 23mm tyres, and the CAAD was designed before the recent crop of wider rims.

A teammate of mine had the same problem with campy brakes while another friend with the same brakes and frame size had zero issues.

I used Panaracer 28's on narrow Mavic wheels on my CAAD10, they worked OK. If I rode through thick mud with that setup, I'd get some noise from the front... didn't bother me enough to change the tires until they wore out though.
