Yes, but make sure you get the Race version for your Clem!

[Mark Roland]

Also, on a 52 Clem you would be looking at the 650B offerings. The 
Hurricane equivalent width would be Pumpkin Ridge, but if you want RH 
knobby rubber on a Clem 52 I would go with Juniper:

Just be aware the knobs will wear rather quickly if you do much riding on 
pavement with them, as the compound is fairly soft. Makes for a great 
handling tire, but the rear  center knobs will wear quickly on hard 
surfaces.

A 42mm tire is going to be mighty skinny looking on a Clem.

If you are worried about sidewall cuts get the endurance or endurance plus

Well, I guess I'm late to the party, but I have a 52 Clementine so I'll throw 
this out there anywayz, for future reference.
I've used a couple "knobby" tires on my Clementine. At first I tried some 
Kendas (2.3ish Slant six I think?), but while great offroad, they made the 
Clementine feel sluggish around town (a little heavy).  
Currently I run a 2.1 Kenda Knobby up front & a Schwalbe similar to the stock 
Kenda on the back. I really like this combination. Kenda's are good & cheap.
A little more expensive,  but a really good choice is the Continental Race 
Kings (or Mountain Kings). I have these on my Ogre and they are great! Wide, 
not too heavy and they roll really good on pavement. When the current tires go, 
that's probably the direction I'll go.

I want to thank you again for the trail suggestions.  Our family had a 
wonderful time on the MUP riding from Breckenridge to Frisco and Lake

Deacon Patrick,

Please don't take my delayed response to your last set of replies as a sign 
of lack of appreciation.  We were out of town visiting family over the long 
weekend and I didn't have the technological means to reply.  That being 
said, thank you very much for your insight!  You saved me hours of research 
and gave me something perfectly tailored to our capabilities.  I am 
literally counting down the days (29 days from today) until I can explore 
these trails with my family (and maybe for a few hours without them).   

Thank you,
Matt

Looking at Trails Illustrated maps, Breckenridge falls as a confluence of three 
maps (108, 109, 104), so there may well be a better local map solution if you 
don't want to buy $40 of maps. Grin. The advantage of TI's maps is they give 
enough detail to actually navigate by them, vs. most maps that are too far out 
to be much help.

Matthew,

>From what you've described, I see a few options that make sense, and you could 
>easily get there and play it by ear, getting whatever tires the LBS has if you 
>decide you want more tire. Just don't let them talk you into "needing" the

1. Breckenridge has a fairly good paved MUP following the valley and highway 
24, and then connects with the Vail Pass bike path that follows I-70. Your 
Kenda's are perfect for this. You'll always be in sight and sound of highways 
though.
2. Boreas Pass SE of Breckenridge is an old railroad grade road/pass that is 
wonderful to ride and has trails off it (Trails Illustrated maps are great!). 
Gentle grade, amazing views and gets you above treeline. Snow should be melted 
enough by then to be a non-issue up top. Kenda's fine for this. You could even 
make a day ride out of Breck to Como to Breck, but that's likely a challenge 
for altitude and distance. 
3. There is a good network of trails on the east side, some on the west. Get a 
map from the LBS as these can change year to year. These are the trails that 
will need more tire to be fun and make learning to ride them easier. It 
destroys confidence on the bike when tires skip/slide/swim in the loose, rocks, 
roots. I was reminded of this when I shifted from Maxxis to Schwalbe and 
breathed a sigh of relief on wet rocks and roots for the solid connection.
4. If you go nuts, the Colorado Trail goes SE (to Georgia Pass) and NW (Miner's 
Creek) out of Breckenridge. Excellent riding, some of it humbling. Grin.

Loads of options. You'll have a fantastic time, and you're timed perfectly for 
amazing wildflowers! Enjoy, with abandon! Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

Check out the Vittoria Mezcal.  I had some on a 59 Clem and really liked 
them.  They do come in 27.5 as well as 29.  Grippy offroad, but oddly, 
nicely, quiet on the road due to center tread pattern.  And they don't 
break the bank.  See my post about them 
, 
which links to a video review.

[Matthew Naftis]

Thanks to everyone for the quick and helpful replies.  You’ve given me quite a 
lot of options to consider! And thanks to Garth for reminding me to trust my 
instincts.  

Deacon Patrick, our family will mostly be riding the easiest trails we can find 
around Breckinridge, although I may try to find some (slightly) more 
challenging terrain with my oldest two children.  

Esoterica, I’m riding a 52 Clem H with the stock tubed 27.5 wheels it came 
with.

Frankly, the joy of riding is in not putting any thought into it at all, 
otherwise you'e just "going through the motions" like a computer, a 
machine. Lifeless.   Intuition, for lack of a better word, is way more 
intelligent, ingenious, capable, confident and fun than you could possibly 
imagine beforehand :)
