Thanks scotroutes.
Clearance is about 4mm or so with a 2.35 Racing Ralph on 25mm internal width rims. It's not as good as it was, there was tons of clearance, but the crimping gained a couple of mms to make it acceptable to me.
Looking very nice especially the fork, can’t quite stretch to carbon one yet and as this is my first rigid hardtail want to see if I like it before deciding on a carbon fork or a Reba

Both?
I love the rigid fork. Ok so it's a pain on rough descents but the bike's not made to be a technical MTB, it's made to be a hybrid - 10 miles of road, then rough trails and singletrack over the mountain, then 10 miles back. Rigid forks are much better on the long climbs and on the road. I have a FS XC MTB with similar riding position, although with wider bars, and somehow it's just far less pleasant to ride on road or long climbs. The bar width is a big factor in this I think - narrow far better on everything except tech.
