As mine is the early green Hillborne, probably not. Hiawatha Cyclery
has set up a new Hillorange with Panaracer 700x45 tires and they fit
without fenders.
Don't need the BAs on the Hillborne as those (in 26x2.0) are on
another bike. Sorta like having different tires on different bikes.

Thankfully, my LBS happens to be the type of shop that carries
Marathon Supreme 700x40. By the time I got there after work, the
little bulge had grown. Not quite alarming, but close. And, yeah, I'm
a worry-wart.
A big thank you to Jim and Mongo (Mark) at Hiawatha Cyclery for
quickly getting me
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.

I wonder if the 50mm Big Apples (LiteSkin) fit, since acc. to
rivbike.com they measure 44.5mm (presumably on the Riv-standard
Synergy rim). Has anyone tried them?
For mostly dirt, I put on 42mm IRC Mythos XC Pro Slicks (a true 42mm
wide on Synergies), which are great off road and a bit buzzy on
Thanks for the advice so far. Put the Marathon Supremes back on the
Hillborne last night. Unfortunately, noted a sidewall abraison on one
tire. Not big, but it is bulging. Rode it to work today. Maybe not
confident enough for this weekend. Strange as there seems to be no
injury. Just
Last year I toured on Schwalbe Marathon 700x47 (actual 41) and they
were fine. Sure, they're a bit sluggish but fine for touring. No flats
and performed well off-road. I got them through Rivendell and they
were really quite cheap. And considering how well they wear, they're
about one of the best
I've ridden miles of crushed limestone rail trails in WI on my 650b
Grand Bois Cypres (32mm) and my wife was on Pasela TGs 700x37 I
believe, with no complaints from either of us. I now live in western
MN on gravel roads. The tires felt much more surefooted on the crushed
limestone. They aren't
After riding Pasela TG 37's (which I love) on my Hillborne for about
six months, I would like something bigger for the occasional off road
ride..(without fenders). I called Riv HQ a couple months ago and
asked about the Supreme 50's bc the Riv website says they actually
measure around 45mm on a
I have ridden limestone with 32mm Panaracer RiBMos and had absolutely
no complaints. The ride was smooth but still fast, and the 32mm tires
felt like a perfect match for that terrain; even on the few loose
spots and bumpy wash-outs.
The person I was ridding with was using 28mm Coninental
I started with Schwalbe 40mm Smart Sams on my Sam ,a kinda cross tire
with knobs, fab in the dirt but slooow on long paved sections. I
switched to a 35mm Pasela's, faster on the road and just OK in the
dirt. On the Smart Sams I could go pretty fast thru downhill dirt
corners, not so on the
10 matches
