So I just had a quick look at my Brommie and it appears that there is loads of room for a fatter tyre in the back.



Am I missing something?
Jur,

It might help if you let us know the tire in the picture and its measured width.

I recall that the original message about the Scorcher was on BromptonTalk and the person mounted a Scorcher to discover the conflict.
