Here’s the bike I have: https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/motobecane/mirage_tour.htm

Here’s the tires I want: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6BXF43T/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3QGN5CVWB8NQ6&psc=1

I recently moved and there’s less paved trails and more rail trails. I want a wider tire, but can’t figure out if it will fit on the rim, within the fork/frame, or within the brake pads. I measured and 38mm looks like it should fit, but I figured someone else might know more than me. All the products and stats are listed on the site.

Also: I get it, it’s not the best bike/tire combo on the market. Cycling is only really a side hobby for me, so don’t shame my choices. I love my bike and the price I paid for it.

    In terms of the tyre fitting the rims however then that should fit just fine. The bike is listed as having 700c wheels already, so unless you have switched them out for something else then the linked tyres are listed as 700c as well.

    I was more worried that a 38mm width tire wouldn’t work on the existing rim. I don’t know how that works.
