I noticed the Schwalbe makes some wider tires in the ERTO 355 size. Anyone have an idea of the widest tire that will fit the birdy? We are planning on riding...
To be more specific ...... Schwalbe Big Apple will work on the Rohloff or Capreo spec best due to the close tolerance of the derailleur. You must alos adjust...

Dear All, My understanding of the Big Apple tyres is that they are fat, low pressure tyres, that are a bit slow but good at soaking up bumps. But the Birdy's...

Sadly, Schwalbe has discontinued production of the 355 mm Marathons. In my experience, they were good rugged tyres, had less rolling resistance than the Maxxis...
