Currently on Panaracer Fire XC's 2.1's but thinking of putting some Continental Gravity 2.3's on, I know not everyone's favorite but they work for me (most of the time).

What sizes are others running up to please?

Cheers

If it's the older model you'll easily get 2.3 Gravitys in. I think I got a 2.5 Diesel in mine, but had a problem clearing the front mech rather than the stays.

Can't say for the newer shape but less tyre clearance would be an odd direction to take a design these days.

Biggest I've had in my 07 soda is a 2.35 highroller - still plenty of clearance left as well.

2.35 HR goes in easy peasy.

I did try a 2.5 minion on the Simple once and that cleared the frame fine, but wouldn't like to say it would clear the front mech.

Got some 2.35 Verts on my 2010 Soul which are fine for clearance - have a double SLX front mech which helps.
