Hi everyone, I have a Claud Butler that i bought some time ago that had been rebuilt. I finally got around to sorting it and the first item was to replace the tyres. Where i live there are a lot of flints and gravel in the road, and I am no light weight, so i bought some Schwalbe tyres that are a bit more puncture resistant. I also upped the size to 700 x 28. The problem i now have is the front brake caliper fowling the top of the wheel. I guess this is because the 28 tyre is also taller? Anyway does anyone have any ideas? i am happy to buy a new caliper if that what it akes, the rear one is fine.
Thanks in anticipation

I'm afraid the only solution is to get some 25c tyres :sad: You could try with a different caliper but would be trial and error.
