Thoughts - tires not enough frame clearance?
Quote | Reply
New bike day and had it built with 28mm Schwalbe Pro One's (which are measuring pretty much at 30mm).
Although I have enough clearance at the BB chainstays it looks like I have less than 3mm clearance on each side if the seatstays. Past bikes with tight clearances I've only ever had rub on the chainstays so wondering if I'll be ok or if it's just a safer bet to just switch to 25mm tires.

You are going to get the occasional scrapy scrape on your frame. Whether that matters to you is another question. You would need some pretty tough contact to ever worry about a sidewall issue.

I have those tires and found that they grew another ~1mm in total width as well after getting broken in. If you decide to downsize, send me a PM since since I'm getting close to the end of life on my current set.
