Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Elves Falath PRO 2022 Tires
« on: April 06, 2024, 01:03:30 PM »
Have any of the Elves Falath PRO 2022 Riders ever thought of fitting a 30c tire? wondering cus i kind of want a comfortable-er ride since i live in a place where theres a lot of rough road or courses. Everyone was saying that i should have bought just buy the EVO one. i prefer the 2021 and 2022 Falath PROs...

32c tires technically do fit.

Wheels: 30mm external, 23 internal
Tires: 32c GP5000 S TR, actual measured width 32.5mm

Fork: 2mm clearance all sides.
Chainstays: about <2mm of clearance.
Seatstay: about 2mm.

On perfectly dry and debris-free roads it probably could work. However, I would add some frame protection to prevent tire scruffs. And I wouldn't run any wheel narrower than 23mm internal. The bulbous effect of 32c tires a 19-21mm internal wheel would for sure cause rubbing.

A great compromise is a 28c tires on 23mm internal wheels because it plumps the tire to 30mm. This is what I run on all my road bikes.

Im curious if i could do the same on my 2022 Elves Falath PRO but with a 30mm tire... i live in a place where its kind of rough. i hope someone could confirm this.
