    Quick question if anyone can answer. Treks 2017 1.2 has 25c tyres, will 28c tyres fit this bike? I was thinking of putting 28c gatorskin or schwalbe marathons on it. Tia

    I have an old (2010) trek 1.5 with 28C marathons on it. Fits fine but you have to deflate the tyre to get past the brake calipers which is a pain. Not sure if the clearance was reduced after that however.

    That’s great news, I’ll give the 28s a go then. Cheers
