Trek domane tyre

[Jekpoint]

Hi

I have a trek domane 2.3, and I have changed the rear tyre to 28 (it was 25 originally)

The tyre rubs with the brake arm (v brake), I fear it doesn’t seem to be compatible

Is there any way to adjust the position of the brake arm? I just need it to ne around 2mm higher

Thanks

pics would be nice, did not know they had v-brakes, i was thinking it had calipers. very few road bikes today can handle a 28c tire.

Agree with what Painkiller stated. I do not know if your bike has vertical or horizontal drop-outs; but on my bikes I can adjust the hub to allow for tires that are not necessarily meant to be installed on some of my frames to avoid tire contact with the brakes. I think 28mm is pushing it but if the frame can handle that size then go for it. I thought those models (at least early models) had caliper brakes so I will admit to not knowing your bike's configuration. What year is your model?
