![]() ![]() generally quite hard on a dry summer but get any amount of rain and it stays mushy for weeks and gets rutted up and the 23's were just a nightmare to use on it. when i refer to cinder I'm talking that very finely crushed limestone. Last weekend, my gf and I rode on the Katy trail in Missouri (crushed limestone) and she did just fine on the 27mm GB cerf blues.the MUP's around here I tried riding on the 23's on my current bike (on the road I inflate to about 95), it was squirrely to say the least, I had zero confidence and probably could have ridden faster on a low end rigid mt bike. You only really need raised tread for loose surface/mud. Do you mean soft crushed limestone? If so, then you can ride any tire width as long as it's properly inflated. I'm not sure what you mean by "cinder" MUP. However, a Synapse is an "endurance" road bike, so it may have a tad more clearance you may be able to fit 28mm or even 30mm tires.īased on the picture, it looks like 28's should fit. That's why the Grand Bois Cerf blue is 27mm, to fit tight clearance road frames. If you don't have the bike handy, call a Cannondale dealer and ask very nicely for the shop guy to see how big of finger or pencil he can fit into those tight clearance spots. Leave at least 1mm for clearance, and you should be able to estimate the max tire size compared to the current size. (Harbor freight has super cheap plastic calipers that are very handy for bike tinkerers.) The tightest clearance may be vertical (brake bridge) or horizontal (fork or chainstay). Look at the fork, the rear brake bridge, and the chainstays, and measure the tightest clearance of the three. However, you can easily answer it yourself if you have the bike nearby. No one will be able to answer your question unless you post a year and exact model.
