• Apologies for being a bit clueless, I've not been following this thread.

    Someone I know has an Arkose and he wants to know if he can put 700x47 marathon tours in there.

    Unfortunately I don't know which year it is. I will see the bike on Monday so can update then.

    I know current models come with 45 tyres and can take up to 47s

    My question is have they always had the clearance?

    Thanks

  • Older ones would fit 40-ish

  • I've got an Arkose from a few years ago with a QR rear and 47mm tyres fit fine with room to spare. I commuted on 47mm Specialized Trigger Reflects for a while.

    Currently using 2" 650b tyres which are also all good. Did try some 2.2" 650b MTB tyres but they were too big!
