Hi Kim,

I've squeezed in a Schwalbe G-One Speed (no knobs) at 27.5x2.35 which measures out to 60mm on the stock rims. There's about 5mm of clearance on each side. The tires have to be deflated to clear the brake pads when removing the wheel.

I have put 27.5 x 2.4 Schwalbe Super Moto-X on Velocity Cliffhangers on my 52 cm Clementine, WITH Honjo Flat 65 fenders.
