A 2.0 tyres is basically 50mm though, AFAIK the Surly max is 42mm.
42mm is about 1.6.
Straggler with 29x2.0...
Might just be enough clearance for mudguard at the front, not rear unless you run SS/fixed.
The problem with this 29er is... where do you put the mud?
[edit] as you say in the edit [edit]
I'd like big tyres for my Straggler this summer.
Does anyone know of others who have done big tyres on their Straggler/Cross Check? I want to be sure there's enough space in the rear.
