has anyone had issues running 25mm tires on a Caad10? Been running 23s but decided to go bigger this time around. Back tire is tight but ok. Front tire hits the bottom of the fork crown. Wheels are DA c24s and tires are conti 2000s II.

It's hard to answer this since it's so dependent on tire and rim choice. Wider rims make effective tire size grow. Also tires almost never measure as advertised.

On your rims which are on the narrower side, you should be able to get most 25mm tires to fit. The 4000s typically measure 2-3mm wider than stated. Also remember that tire size grows 1mm or so after the tire sits on the rim for a few days.

I have an older SuperSix Evo which has similar-ish clearance and I'm stuck on 23mm tires on wide rims. The bike came with narrow rims and 25mm Schwalbe One tires which had enough clearance.

I have a 2011 supersix (non evo) and it fits 25 Conti 4000s on a 23mm rim. Surprised the caad would be a tighter fit.
