I'd like to keep the geared setup I'm running but simply switch tyres from my 35c Ribmo to something bigger and more comfortable, now that my commute is mostly off road.

I loved running 2.2s on my ESB in the past so I'd like to push for something slightly larger than the Knards if I can.

2.0" on the front, 1.75 Smart Sam on the back below... apparently clearance is tights at the back, possibly slammed back in the dropouts.

CTBM says Smart Sam is the biggest for Cross Check too... http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/schwalbe-smart-sam-700c-x-47mm---28-x-175---the-biggest-tyres-to-fit-a-surly-cross-check-2158-p.asp

Thanks for the info! However, looking back on this, those kinda sizes seem far too big for this frameset. I'll just pick up some Knards and leave huge tyres for another bike.

Any reasons not to go for the Knards over similar cross tyres?
