Yes. In fact the rims are rather narrow (19mm) for the fat tires that come with the bike. Quoting Sheldon Brown: "A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width." The inner rim width of the wheels on this bike are 13mm, so 700x23 should be good, where 700x32 is really pushing it!

I've recently bought Dimension 700c Hybrid Fork. Inexpensive, and it is better than my stock fork. Unless, of course, you want to upgrade to carbon.

Most 700c tires will work. The rim is a bit wide, so a narrow tire like a 20/23 might not be the best combination with this wheel. I use mine for a single speed cyclocross bike. The rim is drilled for schraeder valve.

(DISCLAIMER: I am no tire expert) I don't believe the tire size (650mm, as measured by you) directly correlates to the 650c (or 700c) designation. If your rim says 700c, then get the 700 x 23. BTW, the size is also imprinted on the tire sidewall.

They would be 2" larger overall diameter and I would not recommend it. If you are wanting a wider tire, I'd recommend a 265/60R17, it would keep the same diameter without effecting your diameter and speed sensors.

Assuming that you mean 27" Rims. My Cycle that has this brake has 700c x23 tires, and it works great . I'm not sure if that helps you.

John, Sorry I don't know. When I bought the 700x32c tires I was replacing my 700x28c tires.

Those should work fine. I am running 700 x 49 continental tires without problems.

I have them in 700x28 with UltegraBrakes with plenty of clearance. This is a good tour tire not a road race tire.

Yes, just order the 700 x 28 size. Remember that tire dimensions are 700c (diameter of the tire) and 28mm (width). I.e. the "c" goes with the former dimension, not the latter.

The Vstar forks are a little thicker than the virago (41mm instead of 39) and these were pretty snug on mine. So you might have to stretch them a little bit to fit.

I believe that 700 x 28C means your tires are roughly 27.5 inches ID (bead diameter) and 1.25 inches wide. I have these on my bike with 27 inch x 1.25 inch tires (my bike is over 35 years old) These are a nice snug fit on my bike. I don't believe the 0.5 inch difference in ID will make any difference as these fenders are probably actually made for current size tires. But if you were worried about the width being too wide you should be quite happy with the snug fit.Hope this helps you.

I don't see why not. It fits into the center tube on the fork, so I don't think tire size would matter. Like Kent said, it has large and small wedge adapters that should fit most bike tubes. Hope that helps.

About the size of your index finger . Definitely wont fit your bike . Didn't work for my 42 forks

Yes.FYI, 700C is the standard size diameter for a road bike wheel.23 mm is the tire width. A wheel that will take 23 mm tires will also take 25 mm, maybe 28 mm (or larger); although you bike frame or fork may not have clearance for larger sizes.

I tried to mount on Specialized Roubaix with 700x28 tires but they wouldn't fit. The fenders need a few millimeters of clearance between the tire and inside of the fork or seatstays. With 700x25 they fit fine.
