[Closed] Kaffenback and tyre size?

Afternoon

I know the Planet x site says 32mm Max tyre size, but why is that?
I've bought a second hand kaff and want to put some bigger tyres on it to go touring, I've measured the gaps on the frame, and there's much more room than 32mm, what's stopping me going bigger?
Not talking massive here, but looking at 37mm randonneurs.
This is an older kaff, about 4 years old.

They might be quoting 32mm maximum with the possibility of still fitting mudguards?

OK scrub this question. I forgot to measure across the chainstays, was only measuring by the saddle ๐Ÿ˜ณ
Its much tighter at the chain stays.
I've had too much sun ๐Ÿ˜€

Yep, I was going to say. My kaff is a bit narrow at the chainstays.
