My road bike came with 25mm tyres. I have put 28mm on it but in order to do that I have to deflate the rear one to get it on the frame, otherwise it fouls the seat tube as you try to get the QR into the dropouts. I guess a TA frame would alleviate this.


I have a similar issue; my commuter is from the days when 23mm (or narrower) were "in"; add in a mudguard and to get my rear wheel in I have to deflate the tyre. Not a big issue really as generally the only time it comes out is when the tyre is already flat. I see it as a thief-perplexing benefit as on the very odd occasion I lock it up outside, I put the D through the front wheel (dynamo hub so more valuable).
