These come with 35mm tyres, does anyone happen to know the maximum they'll take, I know with the Dual Sport they say they'll take considerably wider than the 38's it comes with .... hoping the FX 2 can possibly squeeze in a 42/43mm if anyone knows???

Cheers for that ... I guess it's a picture of yours??

It's hard to tell from the photo especially on the left hand side (and I'm an uneducated eye which doesn't help)but from the right hand side it certainly looks as though it could go quite a bit wider ... from being next to it would you say the same???

nope belongs to a customer, waiting to be picked up, i'd say 38mm max at the chainstay if you want to keep trek's minimum 4mm clearance. more room between the seat stays. the other dimension to consider is the height of the tyres as that mudguard boss sticks out quite a way. you could saw it off though i guess.
