I wonder what size of tire this is in practice. I have a KH29 with a Kenda 29" x 2.1" which is too big. On Düsseldorfers club website it says the maximum diameter is 705 mm or 27.76 in. The Kenda 29" is 28.85 inches in diameter. There doesn't seem to be any such tire as 28”x1.75” for sale that I can find so far.

This is the quote implying that a 28" x 1.75" tire exists...
Raddurchmesser maximal 70,5 cm (= 28" x 1,75“; relevant = Reifenprägung)

Schwalbe Marathon tire for example. I have that tire and its a 28x1.75 and it fits the KH rim.

It doesnt matter how big your tire is, as long as there is 28x1,75 printed on it, you can start in the "Standard" class.
