Largest tires on Trek Boone?
Moderator: Moderator Team
I searched and came up empty. What is the largest tire that can be fitted on a Trek Boone Disc (2016)? Tons of room in the front but the rear looks narrow at the chain stays. What have people managed on the rear? Was thinking of doing a little gravel riding.

You’ll want to find actual measured widths dependent on rim width of which they are mounted.

The max on that era of boone was a 38. I had 38s on mine when I owned it.

I bought my wife a Boone 7 (cantilever) and fit some 36c tires on there (Clement/Donnely MSO Tubeless). No issues with clearance. You can probably fit a 38c, but I wouldn't go beyond that.

would there be increased clearance with a 650b wheel? thinking of getting one. what is the biggest tire you could fit with fenders? 35 or 38mm?
I don't think you could fit a bigger tire if using 650b wheels. The design of the chainstays open up where the tire is located and then narrow towards the rear for a bit before flairing to the dropouts.

I'm building up a 2016 trek boone and these are pics of Maxxis Rambler 40's mounted on Stans Crest(21mm inside) 29 rims. It looks so close in the photo but there is good space there. I'm very pleased with it but certainly couldn't go wider.
