Q45 with Big Apple tire?

Giloun · May 22, 2020

Can I fit a Schwalbe Big Apple City Tyre (26 x 2.0, ETRTO: 55-559) or even 26 x 2.15 in the front end of Q45?

OK, I found the answer in the spec:
Maximum tire size: The Q45 ships with 1.75" tires but can accommodate up to 2" tires.

At the end you have my recent experience. Still didn't find the time to dish the wheel, but the answer is - yes, you can fit them, even wider ones if the wheel is properly centered.

I have the very first batch of Q45 and it has the narrower fork (like the pic shown in the Q45 front page, see below). I notice they now have the fork with straight arms so my old one may not accommodate too wide a tyre.
