Schwalbe tires do seem to run a touch small at the beginning. Then stretch out. My Hillborne has a new Schwalbe Marathon Supreme up front and had to decrease the computer setting a couple of mm to get things right.
On the Atlantis I used to own, 26x50 Big Apples fit fine. The 60s seemed close. Moreso at the fork than the chainstay. As an aside, seems to me the Big Apples seem to stretch a touch more than the Supremes. At least from the samples of two sets I've used. Probably not an issue at 30 to 40 psi. But I often run them at 50 or so. Seems to work better for my weight (220 in case yer wonderin').
