Hi Jim, Yes, I can fit 38mm with Tektro widemouth brakes, which does help with clearance over the Shimano. That was with a road tread too, so knobs, even small-ish, could add to the overall clearance. I'd stick with 35mm with small knobs as the maximum. The 35mm USH sounds perfect. I'm going to pick up a pair to give my Redwood a little more mixed terrain capability. David Chicago
