No.

BobbyTrigger

cheers dad lol - care to expand? what sizes either side of the 1.95 can i go?

cooldad

Depends on the size of the rim and the clearance on the bike. 1.95 is the tyre presumably, not the rim
But probably between about 26x1.25 and 26x2.25 or 2.35

thanks bud. might take the wheel into my LBS so they can advise.

front caliper went on piece of p1ss, rear now

You can measure it - the width (from inside edges.) But if you want wider 2.1 will be fine, and 2.25 would probably be fine on the front, it's normally the back where you have clearance problems. Any wider and I would measure carefully first.
