REALLY like those Big Apples! Might have to do that, although that would mean getting rid of the fenders. They look great!

How in the world did you find 2" to fit in there? I barely get 38mm MSO's centered and clear, and it's a trick with the forward (high) gear. Perhaps the MSO's knobbies stick out?

With abandon,

It's a squeeze but it's been done on other Qb's.

I'm so going there! I have some Marathon Supremes getting fairly worn down. Love 'em, but they're a bit skinny @ 37mm. As I mentioned, I would have to give up fenders, which 95% of the time isn't a problem. Nice having them though, and I have a wired fender mounted light I would have to deal with. That's the bigger concern!

Thanks for the kind words.

The tires barely fit in there. But wow are they a comfortable ride!

The TT is effectively a bit higher due the large sidewall of these tires.

Someone buy this guy! I can't ride 10 bikes!

[cyclotourist]

I bet you could justify keeping it somehow!!!

Does that large of a tire with tight clearances limit the adjustability of the drivetrain? I see you have it set up as a true SS without a double chainring/DOS freewheel sort of arrangement.

It could potentially be limiting. If you for what ever reason wanted to run a very large rear freewheel cog (24+) with the current chain which would bring the axle all the way forward in the drop out. You would have some clearance problems due to the narrowing of chain stays close to the seat tube.

[cyclotourist]

Thanks for the info. In theory I can change the gearing on my QB due to the double chainrings and DOS freewheel, but in practice I keep it 40X18T all the time. Just wondering if there was enough chainstay clearance w/ the BAs to let me change to a 32X18T (moving backwards) or the 40X16T (forward). Sounds like the forward option is more problematic. Definitely thinking about getting some, just have to be sure I want to give up fenders.
