I’m hitting bigger things faster these days, and while my Hans Dampfs 2.35’s fit width-wise on my Cannondale Rize they’re actually rubbing the seat tube on big compressions.
I’m running the biggest volume reducer in my CTD, and I’ve even shimmed down the stroke to compensate – but bar running silly-high shock pressures the only remaining thing to do is reduce the tyre size. 😥
I’ve tried a HR2 2.3 but it’s not really enough smaller in height than the HD. It’s a good bit narrower – 4mm – but only about 2mm less in terms of rolling radius. (30mm Light Carbon rims, tyres at about 27psi)
Ideally I want a tyre that is about the same width as the HR2, has a similar thread pattern (i.e. open, rolls well) but is less tall by about another 2mm.
Any suggestions?
