sorry not had chance to measure yet but the maxxis crossmark I used was a 2.1 which fitted on the front but not the rear. I've a photo of the maxxis refuse 2.0 fitted to both front and rear.
If it was my bike I would use 700x Nano when it was muddy and 650b 38/43/47 for the road and less mud - they ride amazing and are hardly any slower than a 28

This is actually opposite to what I was considering (narrow road 700c and wide offroad 650b), but makes quite a lot of sense. Increased width of 42-48 mm 650b tyres is not too much of an aero drag when road riding? I would also like to join some group rides form time to time, so this must be zippy enough to let me keep pace ;)
I am also a bit frightened by weight of these - over 600 g is double the 700c wide road tyres, although Gravelking (non-SK) is much more bearable - 290 g in 700x32 and 350 g in 650x42.

Thanks, if you could also measure roughly how much clearance Pickenflick has in the rear for 650b wheels it would be great. I am asking all these questions because if non-slick 2.0 don't fit then probably I will go with a more standard approach of 40c Nano.
