Hi there,
I have just ordered some new wheels - Hope 2 evo/flows. Their recommended tyre sizing is 2.0 - 2.5.
i am looking at putting on some biggish trail tyres.
I know that my frame is cross country orientated but I ride with people who have bigger bikes, and i try to keep up!
I am considering trying a high roller 2.3 up front with an ardent rear, or maybe ardents on both ends.
I am not sure if the Roller would fit, or whether it would be overkill.
I am looking to add size for grip and cushioning to help with my hardtail chasing a Specialized Enduro.. .

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Si

    it will fit.

    the RS manual does give tyre widths for all forks.
