BOB trailer clearance for 650B?

[Rory Woods]

Hi y'all, 

Wondering if anyone has tested the clearance on a standard BOB Yak trailer "fork" with fatter 650Bs. I know there is a "Yak 28" fork that has more clearance...I'm wondering about the standard fork. A seller recently told me that 700x35 definitely fits. I'd like to know if 650x48 is possible. 

Thanks!

I thought I responded to this but I think my post evaporated when I hit send. 

Fatter than 584x48 is possible. We saddled our black Yak up to our tandem with 2.35" tires. It was close but doable. 

You can also put the QR or an axle in the fork ends and measure the distance from center line of axle to the trailer "headtube" just to be sure.

(rim ERD / 2) - (distance in mm - 20mm clearance) = approximate tire size. 

Happy trails!
