We recently bought a used Mercian that has marathons on it which I think measure a touch over 40. Not much clearance, how many mm do folks consider minimum clearance? The bike rides very nicely. Those stout schwalbes are not supple fast tires but we aren't fast either and the ride is quite comfortable. I asked the seller about the smaller tires that seem so prevalent for road tandems. We concurred that that was just "crazy".

On my Sam I ride 33/35mm tires often on marginal roads.
