Hey Patrick, I made some measurements on normal rims and 35mm Blunts when I was getting ready for a Krampus. I summarized it here:
http://bikingtoplay.blogspot.com/2013/12/niner-knard-niknard.html I measured 65~68mm wide, depending on the rim. That's with tubes. I just checked again, and the measured about 2mm wider now (maybe three months later) Pressure wise, I started too low, maybe 9 psi, and bottomed out on my rims numerous times. Last ride, I went too far the other way, at about 18 psi, and the ride was quite stiff. I let out some air to mid teens (my guesstimate), and that seemed to work pretty well. By the way, I asked on mtbr.com (see here: http://forums.mtbr.com/salsa/fargo-knard-890486.html) and the word there is that the Knard will not fit a V1 Fargo fork.
