I've got a couple of old Atlantis info sheets & both list "max tire size" at 2.1" for the 26" wheeled (excepting the 47 cm frame @ 1.7") and 52 mm for the 700 wheels. I also recall Riv generally says the Atlantis handles anything up to 2" wide.
Don't forget that the rim width affects the inflated tire width. On Mavic A 719s (don't recall width but they're wide) my 35 mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes measure 35 mm. Others have mentioned that Schwalbes tend to run narrower than the nominal width. So the same tire on a narrower rim may not be 35 mm. dougP On Jul 31, 9:04 am, William <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > On the Schwalbe site there is a comments forum, and one of the posters > begs Schwalbe to make a 55, because the 50 is too skinny and the 60 > rubs on the chainstays of his Atlantis.
