Tires are 38mm Paselas. Pads are roughly in the middle of the arms - if your reach is more you will likely clear up to 42mm tire. I actually modified some old Weinmann 610s to fit Snoqualmie Pass tires on this bike, though the clearances ended up being too tight for my comfort. These are really nice brakes, a step above the old versions, and they look nice and shiny too. I was really surprised with the actual brake pads. They stop really well, no squeal at all and I just did a rough setup and still need to adjust proper toe in. Part of the reason I chose these brakes too is for easy in rinko-ing the bike so I can take a train home from work. Not an every day sort of thing, but maybe once every couple weeks. That plan still needs to get fleshed out. David
