    Have a Cube Peloton SL 2015 running on Mavic Aksum wheels currently 23mm.

    Would love to change to 28mm tyres, how do you figure out if they would fit? I believe they will but I wanted to be sure

    Thanks

    What sort of clearance do you have on the current tyres? (They will fit the wheels alright but the clearance regarding frame/forks/brakes/ is a different matter).

    Definitely a few mm either side of the tyres and above it going under the fork. Mrs has a very similar bike on 25mm and hers look ok too

    I have the same bike pretty much - the race vs sl - only diff is wheels which are fulcrum 7 which can also take 28c tyres
    afaik the 11 speed 105 5800 groupset cartridge brakes will take the 28c tyres.
    the only issue that I could see being a possible problem is the clearance on the front at the fork at the top of the tyre and the sides.
    doesn't seem to be a lot of room at the sides particularly.
    could fit but would be tight. e.g. if a leaf/muck got there it could stick.
    the back wheel looks fine.
    if you try it and it works let me know!
    other alternative is 25c which I have and works fine and is definitely better than 23c
