gumption_boy on May 19, 2024 3:56 am Hate to break it to you but I’m gonna have to say no on that clearance actually
Adventureadverts on May 19, 2024 4:00 am I’m willing to push things pretty far but this would be deranged to run. Edit: hope you know how to true your wheels in the field. RIP
Another_Meow_Machine on May 19, 2024 4:38 am Once your weight is on the bike, the rest of the tire will balloon out slightly.. possibly enough to rub. If not, it’ll *definitely* rub when you hit a bump.. and that’s not including any rocks that get stuck in the treads. If you value the paint I’m gonna have to vote no… if not, lemme know how it works haha
ZeroFrmHoles on May 19, 2024 5:04 am I used to own this frame. The fork clearance is weirdly low. I ended up finding a new fork at my local collective to be able to fit 2.2s.
BoomBoom4209 on May 19, 2024 5:08 am Wheel dish could/should be looked at… Then the equal tire clearance would be acceptable.
