Do you think 26x2.30 tires are ok wirh the Nomad MK2 ?

I have used Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 55x559 with mudguards on my Raven Tour frames, these have slighly less clearance than a Nomad.

So 26x2.30 should fit a Nomad. But perhaps not with mudguards?

There is also the issue that advertised tyre sizes don't always correspond to the true size.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see other folk’s Nomads, fully loaded. I do like that Alpkit bag on the seat tube. Which tyres are you using and at what pressures?

Thanks, Marathon Supreme  26x2" 4-4.5 bars
3.8 bars it feel more confortable loaded...

I found the 26x2" acted like a brake when I stopped peddling!
Great for my Pamir Highway trip - no issues at all.
In fact there is still plenty of tread left on them and I have listed them for sale here.
Horses for courses I guess.
All my other tours have been on 1.25 or 1.75
Schwalbe Marathons. Only one puncture in Morocco. Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Thailand twice - all good.

But interested in others thoughts.

Matt

Finally, i bought the Panaracer Gravelking 26x2.10 ..more in lines with my way of ride..

But, i've seen another tires in late, "Michelin Pilot Pump Competition"
26x2.10 620gr

https://www.alltricks.fr/F-11936-pneus-vtt/P-3227106-pneu_vtt_michelin_pilot_pump_competition_line_26___tubeless_ready_souple

or the slick Pilot Pump in 26x2.30  675gr

https://www.alltricks.fr/F-11936-pneus-vtt/P-1402278-pneu_vtt_dirt_michelin_pilot_pump_26___tubeless_ready_souple

It is recommended for MTB only, but i don’t know if touring bike are accepted.. ?

Do you think 26x2.30 tires are ok wirh the Nomad MK2 ?
