Searched the archives and can't find anything conclusive. Anyone put
700 x 50 Big Apples on their first run 700c green, canti-equiped
Hillborne? If so did it work? Any clearance left to speak of? I
think max tire on the first Sams was 44mm and 45 on the later ones.
(??) RBW web site shows pics of the BA;s with a caliper reading
44.55mm.
Thanks,
Clyde

Hi , I was just posting about my early green can't Hillborne and tires, 
So, 
I don't have experience with 700x50 Big Apple, but I have been running 700x50 Marathon Duremes.
Yes they fit.

Thanks,
 Do you happen to know the actual width of those Duremes?

I don't , 
I don't have the appropriate tool.
I do have a small millimeter ruler that I can try to approximate.
They are on Synergy rims.  I'll let you know what I come up with.

I have a really big Crescent wrench I use as "calipers" to measure
tire width, then measure the jaws' opening with a mm ruler.
