Hi,
Does anyone have a pic of a C60 with 25mm tires mounted, I'm very curios of the clearance both front and rear.

thanks

I don't have any photos (I'm at work) but I've been running 25mm tires on my C60 all year without issue:

Shimano Ulegra with Continental GP400s II 25mm clincher tires
Mavic CCU with Continental Competition 25mm tubular tires
Mavic CCU with Veloflex arenberg 25mm tubular tires
Zipp 303 Firecrest clinchers with some Vittoria 25mm clincher tires (SRAM NRS wheels)

The clearance is tight at the brake bridge and at the fork crown and I don't know how much larger you could go- I think 27mm might work but I'm pretty sure that 30mm would be too large.

Well, it sounds better than expected. I would be happy if the zipp 303 with vittoria corsa cx 25 fits, they are larger than conti comp and are nice to ride.if you manage to post a couple pics after work I would be thankfull

My C60 has Campagnolo Bora One clincher rims and I use them with 25mm Vittoria Corsa Open Tubular tires. No clearance issues.

I would say :"Be careful" !
My C60 with tubular Vittoria Corsa CX III glued on my Fulcrum Racing Speed XLR : No problem with the 25mm...
BUT the same tubs on my Obies : Ok for the front wheel, but the rear wheel doesn't fit at all :cry:
