Hi Michael, 
I've got a 2 yr old Hillborne with 40mm Marathon Supremes and SKS Longboard 
fenders. Works great!

[RBW] Tires for the Hillborne

[Michael Ullmer]

I'm completing a build on a new Sam Hillborne frame I got from a fellow 
list member and one of the last pieces to the puzzle are the tires. I'm 
wondering what the largest size tires are that I can use with fenders on a 
Sam Hillborne? Any recommendations? Thanks!

[RBW] Tires for the Hillborne

Mike unsure of what size you have but I can fit 650bx42 under 50mm tires. I 
currently run 650bx43 rock n roads under 50 fenders that I had to chop and 
modify to give enough vertical clearance.

I'm riding 50mm Big Apples (LiteSkin) on my new Atlantis (previously
on the Bombadil) and just love them. I'd have to do a side by side
comparison with the 50mm Marathon Supremes to see if I could tell them
apart.

Even took them on a S24O to Angel Island (will post photos when I get
a break from work) and they were awesome in the dirt trails and
climbs.

I have a set of 60mm LiteSkin Big Apples that I rode once on the
Bombadil (700c) that I'll be selling. They don't go with fenders, so I
got the 50mm instead. I'll be offering them for sale.

Don't know if the 50mm BA fit the SH, but if not, the 40mm Marathon
Extremes are awesome for mixed terrain rides.

 In the realm of fat tires, I haven't, fortunately, done an exhaustive
 survey, but I love my Avovet 38 mm(35 actual) cross tires - very
 comfortable on rough and dirt roads and  they roll great on black
 top.  Not sure how available they are any more.

 Something worth considering.  Maybe the 35s are too skinny for that
 type of adventure?

 Opinions?

That's funny, Eric.  I had the same experience after moving to some fat
(44ish) Contis.  The 35mm Paselas seem like racing slicks in comparison!!!
