Anyone running wider tires on their Trek Checkpoint?

Is anyone running wider tires than a 700 x 40c on their Checkpoint. I want to go up to 1.9 inches wide or so for riding more single track than gravel.

My over width of my Botrager GR1 is inflated to 40 to 50psi is 1.6 inches. It looks like I have pretty good room between the seat and chain stays (2.7 inches). The only concern is getting close to the backside of the front derailleur. I know there is some movement with the IsoSpeed but I'm thinking its minimal, I weigh 185 lbs. I know this had been discussed in the earlier stages of the Trek Checkpoint release but I wanted to investigate now since the Checkpoint has been out for a while.



Thanks,

Mike
