The 2.1" WTB NanoRaptors are SO close to fitting that it's not even funny. Plenty of (well, enough) clearance in the front, and a slight bit of rubbing on the chainstays due to the side knobs. Even if I file them off, it's gonna be pretty tight. I'm going to try and track down some 1.8" tires this week and mount them up and see how it goes. If I can get them to fit, I'll break the setup on the double gravel century this weekend.

Instead of filing them you might try a good pair of side cutters. I ordered some 1.9 IRCs but they came in as 2.1s. Snipped away and got just enough clearance, plus some extra air volume from running a bigger tire. Leave the tire on the rim, infalted, and the knobs will fly off as you trim. Looks good as posted. Later!
