The big Challenge tire [measured at 29 mm] barely fit inside the Enve fork on my test bike. It's important to set up the brakes using the quick release and the barrel adjuster so you can loosen both to get the wheel off.

I have run close clearances but having given it thought over the years, I try to avoid that tight all around the tire on the front for fear of something wedging between tire and fork resulting in front wheel skid at speed.
