Thank you so much for the pics! They tell me exactly what I wanted to know.

(B) What size are those tires? I think that my narrowest are 42s, my studs are 47s, and I have a set of Conti Top contacts that are 50s. It slooks like I will have plenty of "vertical" clearance. (C) Do you think that any of these widths will cause problems?
(A) I ride pretty upright, I'm much more comfortable that way.
(B) Basically 26 x 1.5". The rear is a Schwalbe Marathon in that size, the front is a Panaracer T-Serv that is technically a 1.75", but they run small, so it is really closer to about 1.6"
(C) No idea, I ride 26" tires, never liked road bikes and I'm tough enough on wheels as it is.
