Bikes: Surly CrossCheck, Krampus

Any tire that measures 45mm wide will fit. Most nominal sizes are larger than actual size, but not always ;-)
Hey, I'm already running on Dyads (they're all gonna be the same 24mm width, right?), so I could just buy a pair of tires and my dream fulfilled! The Smart Sam looks cool. I've been searching other forums and there seems to be a consensus that the Bontrager Jones XR 29 x 1.8 or even the XR-1 1.9 29er works well both front and rear (probably because of the small knobs)
