26″ rear with a 3″ fatty comes in about 28 and a bit inches so with a fat front as well it just drops the BB very slightly, I rolled the EBB up for the same sort of pedal clearance and it’s ace. Acceleration is not it’s forte any more but traction on stupidly steep and loose climbs is ace and point it down or on flowy stuff and it’s monster truck mental. I keep making “vrooom” noises and giggling like a small child!
jameso- with a gear dangler and some frame bags, it would make a fantastic adventure bike, just take it anywhere. the rear happily runs at 8-10 Psi tubeless it’s not as lardy as I was expecting.
