I have a 2007 superlight 2 speed. It has the Brompton 'green label' tyres. I've only just noticed (after 2 years ownership) that the clearance between the rear tyre and the chainstay bridge is only 2mm. What is usual? (there may be some variation for all B's on the forum), and is it only this close on a Ti rear triangle? My next question....... If I need to replace the tyres at some time, what best to go to for smallest diameter?
