experience with Dia Compe 980s + tires wider than 45mm

Hi Bunch,

Does anyone have experience with Dia Compe 980s + tires wider than 45mm ?

Do you reckon I would have to deflate a tire that measures 49mm to fit through?

I actually don't know the post spacing on the frame in question and realize that may be a contributing factor. I'll measure when I can, which is not right now.

Thanks

Will depend on the post spacing. For reference, here they are on my single speed. Spacing looks like 82mm, Snoqualmies measuring 42mm on Dyads. Tons of clearance. I could probably fit 50's without deflating.

Bones - that's super helpful! Thanks

Howdy, I'm assuming that you're talking about the newer Dia Compe 980s with threaded posts and not the 1980's 980s. I'm using these on a Crust Romanceur with Rene Herse 650x48's that are measuring around 47mm on the Pacenti Brevet rims. I don't need to deflate the tires when removing the wheels from the bike. It'll take a look later and see if it looks like 2 more mm would still be an easy fit.

Luke, that's correct! And thank you!

I'll second what Bones said. I have the DC980s on a BMC Monster Cross with Snoqualmie Passes and there is tons of clearance. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
