Thinking of changing my current tire (700 x 28) Vittoria to a 29er tire like the Schwalbe Furious Fred (29 x 2.0). Anybody know if this will work on the Bad Boy Ultra or any Bad Boy ? Currently have Stan's Arch 29er wheelset with Carbon Lefty front. Probably just wondering if there is enough clearance in the rear rather than the front. Thanks for any info in advance. Ride on.

I thought a 700 tire was the same as a 29er tire, just different width?

Yes, but the badboy is based on a 26" mountain bike frame so a 2.0 is probably unlikely to fit. Just guessing though.

So, does that mean I can use 700 x 28 on my CAAD4?
(Because I want to convert my F4000 to a BadBoy.)

And/or what's the maximum size I can use in 700 wheels?
700 x 28 is the max or what?

Thanks.

On my old 97 Trek I can get a 700x38c in the 26" frame, I would look at the tire junk bin at your LBS.
