officially clearance for the Frame is 28mm. i have a 28mm Conti GP 5000 on it. when i spin the wheel i don't hear any grinding, but it looks super tight. would you ride it?

There is no clearance. You’re hallucinating
Nope
That is approximately how close I am to losing my shite.
Is this supposed to be a joke? Man this sub is deteriorating
I might ride it on an indoor velodrome.
Just imagine catching any debris in your tire. It’s gonna tear your frame up.
Not enough clearance.
Not enough out of 10.
Bad
On point. Not ahead of point and not behind it. Behind point is where it’s at.
No. ETRTO standards for a road bike are 4mm in case any debris get stuck in the tyre.
Also tyres naturally expand a little with time. It’s gonna take a couple rides and it will start rubbing.
byebye frame
Is the clearance in the room with us now?
I would absolutely put that on rollers inside, or in a velodrome (after carefully vacuumimg the whole thing).
Anywhere else? No.
From aerodynamic point… perfect! It could hardly be better then this.
From any other point of view… I would never ride it out on road with this little clearance.
if a dead leaf sticks to your tire you’re done
Hope this is ragebait
Get one piece of gravel or grit in there and you’re cooked.
I was certain this was a r/bicyclecirclejerk post at first.
That is 100% going to rub when hitting any kind of bump, potholes or riding out of the saddle. Frames, wheels and tires flex more than you might think.
r/Machinists might like this. Clearance is clearance, right!?🫣
But on a serious note dont do this you’ll def ruin the frame
Pebble will wedge itself into your frame in 3…2…1….
Best to get a smaller tire.
ISO 4210 is the industry standard for tire clearance, with a listed minimum of 4mm all round. Some racers run 3mm for fair weather riding and accept frame rub. There is no universe where you’ve got enough clearance to avoid eroding away your frame or locking up the wheel if chunks of road debris adhere to your tire.
Any little pebble, dirt, mud, leaf, or just hitting a pothole, and you will regret this. It’s a big risk for your frame but also for yourself because the bike is going to feel extra bumpy and may make you lose contact with the road
What tire clearance?
What clearance? Where?
No out of 10.
My old college professor when I asked him how close I was to failing the semester:
Warm day. Stone in rubber. Curtains.
Straight to BCJ.
Unless you are riding this in a 100% sterile, microchip manufacturing grade environment, you’re gonna have a bad time. Even then I would be worrying…
Did you pump it up to the recommended pressure?
That’s a no from me, tires expand and shift under load, you’ll be eating frame eventually.
Thats not enough clearance. Are you on the bike? If not….not a chance
Let’s leave jokes away. That frame is for about 25-26mm tyres maximum realistic. If you barely step mud or water and then sand and the tyre is well inflated it may lock straightaway or sand the frame.
