wheel width clearance with Ultegra 8000 brake caliper
Hello everyone on the forum.
I read a review of the FFWD Tyro rim brake wheels and became interested in them.
But I'm not sure if my Ultegra 8000 brake caliper can accommodate the outside width of the Tyro wheels which is 29mm.
This is a review of the mentioned wheels, so I'm wondering what brake calipers the author used on the test bike?

Why not rewrite the article title to ask about tyre/wheel clearance width of the Ultegra 8000 brake caliper? Many more people will know the answer to that rather than the other way around...and really your question is not specifically linked to a niche wheel manufacturer.
Probably because the answer to that is on Shimano's website for everyone to see, 28mm. I suspect the OP is after real-world experience of running out of spec wheel & brake combos such as the 29mm FFWD Tyro with Ultegra.
This is a Tyro wheel review on Road.cc.

I would like to know what brake calipers he used?
Is the author active on the forum and if you know under what name?
Thanks for the tip on the Shimano specs
Author of that was Stu Kerton, still on the staff I believe.
The link I referenced is here: https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/ultegra-r8000/BR-R8000....
Shimano have been known to err on the side of conservative with specs hence the reason I assumed you were looking for real world experience.
I would love to hear a real world experience and it seems to me that the best example would be Mr. Kerton
Thanks for the advice
