At the Ellison Park UCI race here in NY yesterday they had an official with a little welded jig that slid over the tires. They were checking all of our wheels and bikes in the pit. As long as the jig fit over the tire it was ok. I'll be curious to see what they have in Gloucester this weekend.

I wouldn't sweat it. It's what it measures, not what it says on the tire. I don't see the UCI going after anyone unless it's at the elite level and something is suspect.

The Exact rule from the UCI Rule book is:<br />
<br />
"TITLE 1<br />
1.3.018 Wheels of the bicycle may vary in diameter between 70 cm maximum and 55 cm minimum, including the tire.<br />
For the cyclo-cross bicycle the width of the tire (MEASURED BETWEEN THE WIDEST PARTS) shall not exceed 33mm and it may not incorporate any form of spike or stud."

You racing pro? If not, don't stress about it. You can always argue that the size printed on the tire should be the final word. I highly doubt that any USAC officials are going to be at races with vernier calipers.
