The new bicycle quarterly mentions the new tires but they are not on the website yet. There is a 26 x 55, 650b x 48, 700 x 35, and 26 x 32.
On the brake thing, I have the cx70's on my hunqapillar with 2.1 smart sams (no fenders). Plenty of clearance, obviously. I've had some issues getting the rear brake to stay tight and not feel too squishy, and consequently feel it has required more maintenance than most other brakes (which my experience is mostly with road bike calipers, so likely it is user error). I am curious about the motolites for the rear, but i feel that rack clearance becomes an issue with those.
