Schwalbe Big Apple tires on CGX recumbent:

I would like to know if anyone has had experience fitting Schwalbe Big Apple tires on a Cycle Genius CGX Starling recumbent... The rims are 305 and 406... The tires are 2.0's (16" and 20"). I'm mostly concerned with brake clearance and derailleur clearance...

My best friend put Big Apples on his mountain bike and YES, the chain rubs the tire in low gear. The brakes, on the other hand, was a non-issue. They work fine and no rubbing.
