Salsa Vaya owners, tire clearance?
Anybody who owns or has really looked closely at the Salsa Vaya, can you tell me if you think one could fit 1.9" studded bike tires on the frame or not?
Salsa says the 26" geometry frames (< 54cm) allow for 1.75" and the complete bike is specc'd with a 1.75 Continental tire. However, I did see somebody's Blog who had a picture of a 1.9" (according to the caption) tire on the back and it did look wide enough. If you own one and think it would work, without a fender anyway, could you let me know? I'm considering a Vaya but would like to fit larger tires if possible.
Thanks,
Jay
