2.75" tyres on 26" rims = approx 650b with normal tyres:

Looks interesting, and the implication is that any 650b fork will atke a fat(tish) front...
Saw it on facebook, I like it
Yes, it does look good. Not what I was after for my next bike, but tempting.
Like. The Straggler looks good too... damn you Surly.
Wonder whether it'll take a dropper post?
what tyre's are they?

Where? nothing (i can see) on their page.
[edit] ignore, was looking at Surly Bikes page, not Surly intergalactic.. etc. [/edit]
what tyre's are they?
Surly Dirt Wizard 26x2.75", apparently. Frame will also take more conventional tyres on 650b rims.
I wonder whether Surly will come out with a 650b+ that'll fit a normal 29er fork?
Looks good. Bit like a porn star with a small cock / tits though.

wow one wheel on every band waggon
This is genius. Suddenly I'm interested in 650b forks

And your point? š

Yes, me too.
And your point?
they could probably make it out of titaniarbon Steel and fit is with 330mm bars one side and 400mm on the other and tick every box š

This is Surly (Kings of Niche™) we're talking about here, so they've probably already prototyped the bike you describe š
Really heavy tyres on really heavy rims. Hmm.
really heavy rims
The claimed weight of 50mm Rabbit Hole 29er rims is 700g; 29er Flows are 510g. Heavier, but not [b]really[/b] heavy.
The tyres will be though, I'd have though.
Surly have never been one to consider weight an issue, part of the reason they are popular on here i imagine š
I ran 2.5" WTB tyres on my Inbred SS many moons ago - made the ride very puffy but also very slow. Can't see the point of this bike other than to sell more bikes into a niche.
Just an inbetweenee fatbike I think and I can't see the point of them either unless you want to ride really slow on the beach.
