   Hello everyone , I have been looking at this question wondering why it's so hard to answer .. I then realized I put 700c and asked what size fits ... I know the 700c is the only tire that fits but the question here is how (Wide) it will go . The Rim looka pretty narrow but someone had said they used a really wide tire on one but it was the 26 inch wheel not the 700c size .. I think it was Bikemad that got a really fat tire on his .. I would like to try that with the 700c wheel I have .. I have found a 700 X 47 michelin tire to try .. Will it work?? Please .. Thank You , Don

Hi
I put a schwalbe 2.35: big apple on my 26". It was no problem and I really like that tire.
