Those charts have a bit of age on them; they'd work for your Hunq, but you're right, the new ones would have more clearance. The Bomba sizes are for the pre-diagonal ones... when I was waiting for mine, I also had a good chat w/ Keven, he was talking about the new fork crown that's widening out the size up front, in addition to how they were sizing the back for clearance now. I can run 650b 2.35's *with* fenders *with lots of clearance... I'd mentioned the possibility of going with 2.4's down the road, and his point was, sure they'll fit, but if you need fatter, go w/ a fatbike...
I think, you're bike's a beaut, and will continue to suit you fine, w/o needing the extra room....
