I had a first gen Bombadil, and while waiting for my 2.0 Quasi-Moto tires to arrive, I borrowed my friends 2.3 Neo-Motos and shoehorned them in. They cleared the frame all 'round but with some questionably tight gaps. If you slapped the truth out of a rim, there would be rubbing to pay.

You might want to take a look at the Smart Sam 2.1 650b. I have those tires for two of my bikes and they are awesome. Not slow on the road, killer grip off road. On Sunday, February 22, 2015 at 8:59:12 PM UTC-8, Tony DeFilippo wrote: Schwables got some great offerings in 650B these days in

I have a 52 cm first gen Bombadil. I am using Quasi-Motos on it now and I think they fit well and work well at the pressure I run (usually low to mid 20s). As I recall it, when I first mounted them I over inflated them to help with seating and the front touched something. Probably the front tab
