I happened to have the fenders off and played around with a few tires. I've always wondered what I could fit in back (front clearance is greater). I think I found the limit with a 700x40 (38mm casing, 41.5mm knobs):


I wish the bridges were a skosh higher so I could run fenders with big tires, but given these bikes were a small run deal, I'd say Riv did pretty well.

Interesting!

I've been running a Clement X'Plor MSO 700x40 on the front of my canti-Rom; thus far I've been running a 700x35 Ritchey Speedmax on the rear, to ensure clearance, but have been wanting to see if the MSO would fit back there, too....

Hmmmm........

You should be fine. I used grub screws in the fender mounts to keep the gunk out without cutting into my clearance.

How do like the MSOs? They've been on my radar for when my stash of Mythos slicks runs dry. Having lived in Missoula, I'm partial to the name, too!

They're fun tires.
