2021 Turbo Levo Comp tire fit

[SS369]

Good day all.
First post: I have a 2021 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp, 29-er front and rear. Thinking of trying the Schwalbe Shredda on the rear and I am wondering if it will fit or rub. Too costly to just try. Anyone have any info of their experience? TIA

Any suggestions to find an answer?

Google suggests you can comfortably fit a 29x2.6 rear tyre on the '21 Levo, so a 29x2.5 Shredda should be fine.

Thanks MeatBike. Hope google is correct.

Thanks MeatBike. Hope google is correct.

Seems to take it from multiple sources (reviews etc).

Check the results yourself before you commit to a purchase.

Got the bot when I first posted. No got. Anyway, I prefer human interaction mostly. Thanks for the advice though.

The Schwalbe radial tend to be smaller than their indicated size. I have a 2025 Levo which the manual specifies a tire size no larger than 2.4. I am currently running a 2.5 Schwalbe Albert (27.5”) and it has plenty of room. I’m not sure how Schwalbe measure their tires.

Thanks for the photos! Mine are 29's and the worn DHF in the back doesn't have very much clearance. I contacted Schwalbe N. America and asked. They gave me the diameter and width measurements for a 30mm rim. Measuring the best that I could from the axle center it looks super close, both diameter and width at the front - same place as your picture. Will hate it if I purchase and install only to find out it rubs. Just don't know if my year bike is somehow different. Thanks again.

Beware! Just because a tyre goes into the frame with some space either side does not mean that it is a good fit.

The frame can flex when cornering hard and bring the tyre into contact with the frame which can rapidly remove paint down to the base and beyond.
The tread can carry stones round with it, striking the frame at speed. Unless you have loads of bike tape in place, you don't want that!

Just for the interested.
I bit the bullet, installed (Hardest install ever!) and did a quick run. Enough clearance unless these monsters suck up a bolder.

If you like the Schwalbe's, Bike Tires Direct has them at 30% off with free shipping until the end of April. I purchased another rear Albert for future use.

Thank you G.M. For the heads up. I should purchase another set, but I might not wear these out. May be a 40% in the future.
