Cannondale Cujo 1 (2018): 27.5x3.0" and 27.5x2.8" tires simultaneously

After the chain came off my bike, the rear rim was damaged. Now the wheel is not centered (out of dish), the distance to the frame on one side of the wheel is too small. The 27.5x3.0" tire sometimes rubs against the frame.

I can't change the wheel/rim now (and I'd like to put 29" wheels), so I made a compromise solution to save the frame. I left the 27.5x3.0" tire on the front, and went back to the 27.5x2.8" tire on the rear, which is a little narrower, and that's enough.

The difference in diameter is almost imperceptible.

  1. если по рыхлому песку не катаетесь, 29x2,1 - 2,35 вполне достаточно. какие нибудь maxxis ikon (на алике вроде хорошие цены) или vittoria mezcal (на bikeinn). по рыхлому песку и зимой лучше что то пожирнее от 2,6"
