A long shot - Genesis Longitude

Post by Remaerd »

Anyone running a Genesis Longitude on 35 - 38mm tyres?

I have the putty gray frameset running 47 x 622 landcruisers but that's on 19mm rims. I'm not sure that you could put narrow tyres on the wide rims that come with the complete bike, maybe someone more technically expert can answer that for you. Just out of interest, why do you want to, there are loads of bikes that take tyres that size, the longitude is clearly made for lovely big soft rubber. I got mine so that I can fit the biggest Big Apples with full mud guards, I just haven't got round to buying any yet.

The width of the rims is 35mm. You simply aren't going to fit a 35-38mm tyre on there
