Yo Jake, I'm running RTP's. What are they, 2.3's? And there's still plenty of room. Using VO 60mm fenders and they are about even with the edges of the RTP's. I was running 650x42 Hetres and Gravel Kings but wanted to try a fatter tire. First experiment was with 47mm Switchback Hills. They fit but there was about 2-3 mm distance from the top of the tire to the seat stay bridge. Deal breaker. Arizona monsoons are no fun without fenders. It's too bad RTP's and Natchez Pass tires are the only good ones offered in 559. If Jan ever decides to discontinue tires in this size we're screwed. See what happens when you get spoiled.
