UNICYCLE.COM just began carrying the Big Apple Tires--at my prompting,
and the tire DOES fit on the Yuni, which (I believe)give a bit more room
than the Sem frame.
Word is the Big Apple has less rolling resistance than other 29" tires.
All I know is that it give great ride!

I'm riding a Nanoraptor at the moment, which is pretty nice, but I'd
like something a bit smoother. The Nano's tread also has a line of
narrow knobs that form something close to a center ridge, which I think
tends to make tracking a straight line a bit more of an effort, at least
for me.

Ask them if they can get any Schwalbe tyres. If they can then ask to see
the catalog they order from at the bike shop. It should have a "Big
apple 622x60" or something like that listed.
You can phone up the distributors to find out where to get things. Often
distributors have a sort of on the quiet mail order thing too, so you
can order stuff from them. Contact details are in the site below

Of course Roger is right. You probably know that the Nimbus II frame
(the one with the square crown) fits the Big Apple fine?

You want a nimbus II frame. Don't worry about it hitting your knees, it
doesn't do that once you're used to it.
