Anyone have MTB tyres to swap? new tyres too wide for frame!

Postby Alex S » Wed Jul 15, 2009 11:01 pm

Basically I have a set of Continental Vertical (26 x 2.3) tyres with less than 30 miles on them, the problem is they are too wide for my hybrid frame and they rub near my BB.

Anyone got any old MTB tyres to swap? not too fussy about tread or even condition, anything from 1.75 to 2.1 width would be ace.

Thanks
