Big Apples for CrossCheck ?
Soon it will be time to take off the snow tires, need a new set of tires for my CrossCheck.
Have been thinking about some Schwalbe Big Apples.
Has anyone fit 50-622 Big Apples on their CrossCheck ?
Thanks,
martianone.

The will kinda fit, but you won't like the result. When I tried it my rear fender had to go over the brake bridge. Don't try it if you want fenders.
You can get regular Marathons in nearly that size that fit a lot better. According to Surly, 43 is the max size and, they're about right. I have 700x40 marathon supremes right now. The 40 supreme is just as nice of a ride, but fits a lot better. Both regular marathons, and supremes come in 700x40 (and pluses too). The regular marathon is half the price of the supreme.
