What specifically can I measure for you on the 2.25"X17" tire?

Sorry, I don't have an unmounted tire just now.

this thread is leading me to believe that mike has the patience to lace wheels. right?

yup mike has laced 3 sets for his legnano, the latest with triple butted DT Swiss and NOS NISI Moncalieiris. i wanted the factory correct fiamme yellow labels but couldn't find them. oh well.

i used to have the front radial and the back 2/3 cross, but i'm back to 3 cross all around.

wari us lightweights might get away with some very efficient tires if we can find them ;)

jerry 2.5" is too big to fit in the fenders. 2.25 is even too big for the rear fender.

but i've got other plans ...

Jerry who is the original equipment manufacturer?

my new savas don't fit so well under my fenders.

which is not really an issue, i'm going to be mounting them creatively anyway so that they will fit, but in it's 'stock' placement the rear fender of my 40 was definitely interfering with the tire.

maybe the 50V has more clearance?

My 4 1979 Mobys still have the original 2.25" Michelins on. Seems that they have sufficient tread but cracked sidewalls and some small chunks out even. I'm riding them but wondering about where to dive when I'm doing 35 downhill sometimes. Would like whitewalls but I guess they're not available. Still wondering if 2.5" tires will fit without rubbing-can anyone answer this question?

rick thanks! that's awesome man

but i was looking for the measurement per http://sheldonbrown.com/rim-sizing.html

it's cool though i have other plans in mind anyway
