Speaking of clearances, thinking of doing a conversion on my Soma ES. Just bought a thorn fork and clearance at 320mm from the axle is about 45mm. I guess hoping to fit a 42mm tyre in there is going to be wishful? Would probably still do it for the 38mm anyway.
Ah, thanks, but I'm not. Going to hold it up to my mrs' front wheel and see what it looks like. She has 40c I think, might even be able to ride it a little if the gears decide to play.
