Putting on a Wider Tire
What if you want wider tires on your bike? The rims of your wheels can probably hold tires that are slightly wider
than the ones that came with your bike. For example, if your tire's size is 700 x 28, you can probably use 700 x 32
tires. To learn how wide a tire you can use, show one of your wheels to a bike dealer. |

| If you install a wider tire and it rubs against the frame no matter how you adjust it, it's too
wide. |

A wider tire might require you to move the brake pads-otherwise they'll rub the tire instead of the
rim. |
