Here’s the tires I want: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6BXF43T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3QGN5CVWB8NQ6&psc=1
I recently moved and there’s less paved trails and more rail trails. I want a wider tire, but can’t figure out if it will fit on the rim, within the fork/frame, or within the brake pads. I measured and 38mm looks like it should fit, but I figured someone else might know more than me. All the products and stats are listed on the site.
Also: I get it, it’s not the best bike/tire combo on the market. Cycling is only really a side hobby for me, so don’t shame my choices. I love my bike and the price I paid for it.
That website is shit, it doesn’t have much in the way of helpful specs so I looked up the manufacturers US website and it makes sense why the bike direct site has shot details, so does the manufacturer!
Usually a bike would list the relevant details such as Max tyre width, bb size, seat clamp size etc where as this doesn’t so it may be a case of having to buy it and try it.
As another poster said you need to have some space to either side of the tyre but a cusory measure up should be able to tell you if it is likely to fit. Bear in mind if your wheel isn’t perfectly true or something similar that could cause it to rub.
In terms of the tyre fitting the rims however then that should fit just fine. The bike is listed as having 700c wheels already, so unless you have switched them out for something else then the linked tyres are listed as 700c as well.
I’d say buy one and try it out!
I was more worried that a 38mm width tire wouldn’t work on the existing rim. I don’t know how that works.
