	Brand new Captain (Control) 29 x 2.0 (folding) - Installed, but never rode on. Literally bought this last week and when I installed it; noticed it wouldn't fit with my current derailleur setup w/o causing interference in granny gear. I'll let it go for $45 firm if anyone on here would like to meet up for the exchange. (just paid $60 with tax) I work in uptown and live near Huntersville, so I'm flexible. Thanks!

Well, I was wondering the same thing at first, but it appears this tire sits slightly taller compared to my stock tire (or the Conti I have on there now) and when I dropped to the lowest gear the pull mechanism seems to move back slightly... There was just enough room to put a piece of paper between the tire and the back portion of the derailleur, so between that and my weight on the bike, I wasn't taking a chance on it catching. Just the design of my X cal 8 frame I guess. Believe me, I didn't want to sell it.

	hmm. sorry, I still don't get it. the derailleur should be at least 6 inches from the tire. Is your derailleur bent in towards the spokes? I know it's off topic, but was just curious.

	I'd be curious to see what's going on with your bike. A rear derailleur doesn't come close to a tire especially a 29er. Only trying to help with your issue as I've never seen tire width be an issue with a rear derailleur. Now a front derailleur? That's another story.

I know it's off topic, but was just curious. No worries. Maybe this pic will help. (not my bike, I'm at work and this is the only pic I could find online). It's the back portion of the clamp. Tire height was of concern; width wasn't an issue. This pic shows a decent gap, but my gap was small.... (yikes, that doesn't sound right.... ).
