Hi all,

Just a quick question, I have an 2011 Orange Five Pro which came with 2.25 Maxxis Advantage tires as standard, I just wondered whether a 2.35 HighRoller would fit front and rear or would it cause clearance problems with the frame?

Ive heard the highrollers come up a little small, so fingers crossed!

Thanks for any comments, responses 8) 8)

    was looking at a orange 5 pro with continental tyres of with fox forks and it lookd a little tight tho continental tend to come up fatter than usual. well the 2.35 highroller fits my hardtail,
    highroller tends to work best with dry earth and loose gravel.

    If you own the bike you could always measure 2.25" and see how they compare to what you have already. Also check with your rims to make sure they can take 2.25" tires, they probably will but I know my Mavics have a range of tire widths they are designed for. Most manufacturers have this written on their websites and some have a sticker on the rim itself giving the range.

    Hope that helps.

    My maxxis 2.35 minions are about the same size as my 2.1 panaracers.
    They go on my patriot with a shed load of clearance. You'll be fine.
  • I have a 2.35 hr on the back of my 5SE, no problems, the bike originally had 2.4 continentals.

    The Maxxis 2.25s are bigger than the 2.35s in fact. The newer 2.25 carcass seems to be accurately sized unlike the 2.35 which is more like 2.1
