What's the largest you've managed to run on a Jake (just Jake, no Major or Snake)?

I'm hoping wedge some 29er knobbies in there if I can.

The largest tire I've tried on my Jake is the Locust CX 35s that came on it. I've got those on it right now, and it only leaves 10mm total between the top of the tread and the arch of the fork. I don't think I'd want to try anything much bigger.

I have 700x 42 IRC Mythos Slick on my Jake the Snake. Same frame. I did get a little rub in the back, but the paint is all off the frame now. You have more clearance up front.
