How big tires do you think one could fit with 406 and mudguards? All the 406's I have seen have been using narrow racing tires which are a no-go with me. If 40-44mm won't fit, then I'll stay on 355.



What sort of 11-speed is that, cassette or Alfine? What cassette size? I'm curious about whether big-range cassettes will work without the chain rubbing the chainstay. Thanks!
I'm currently running an XTR cassette on an Ultegra 6700 hub. I've run an XT 34t cassette on an Alfine hub on my previous Birdy. I've never had a problem with chain rub.
