The geometry charts are interesting. The two smaller sizes list 26 x 2.35" as the max tire, but they didn't carry that MTB sizing over to the 700, which has a max of 55cm (actual, I presume). So, 2.25 = 57 mm nominal size, thus presumably smaller actual size so it just physically fits. But then you account for clearance of mud and rocks and duff on the trail 2.1 is the practicable clearance (I had a long conversation with Kevin at Riv. to understand this.). And the tightest spot is the width of the chain stays, so even the potential allure of 650b conversion doesn't help. Of course, larger than 2.1 may be more bounce than I can handle anyway, so it may all be academic for me.
