Nobody? The perfunctory Google search states something like 25C. I do not have a proper device to measure, but currrently I have Continental 25C and about 8mm clearance on all three sides. I wondered if anybody here uses wider rim wheels with different tires (waiting for the Bora One's to arrive and wondering what tire width to use).

I will take a look more closely tonight and see if I can measure.

I run Bora One 35 with Veloflex Corsa 25 tyres on mine.

I don't have any vernier calipers, only a tape measure. By my eye, there is maybe 6mm clearance between my 25mm tyre on Bora rim and the forks. At the rear, I think it's closer to 5mm between the chainstays.

I've comments online that state they run 28mm without issue.
