I certainly wouldn't want to do many road miles, my knees wouldn't forgive me...I like the dingle idea.

"does not synchronise with the wizard of Oz". Is written on the bead of these tyres.
Gotta love the work the surly boys do.

epi according to some on here tonight your tyres would squirm at less than 60psi and thus on Alp D'Huez YOU WOULD DIE

+1 for more fork details, I think you had it made from memory? What a-c and offset did you go for and how do you find it if you don't mind me asking?

Fork looks like a chinese Ti jobby(J&L?)?

I think fatbikes look fun, although I wouldn't cough up for one. I don't quite get the fat, slick-ish tyre though. I would have thought fat terrain required knobbles?
If it's just for fun, then that's fair enough. But is there some alleged purpose?

what is the overall diameter with these tires mounted in the rims you have?

About the same as a 29er.

OD is independent of rim width

what is the actual height of these tires? 3.8" refers to the width not the sidewall height, correct?

The actual dimension of the tyre depends on which rim you use with them. There's a much wider range of rim options with fat tyres than with normal tyres - people are using from 40mm to 100mm rims.
On this bike I am using a narrow rim (40mm) which gives me a tyre width of about 83mm. I haven't measured the height, but it has the same clearance from the fork crown as a 29er tyre (Racing Ralph), so it is of a similar height.
On a 80mm rim the tyre width would be close to 100mm, and on a 100mm rim I would expect to see it go to around 105mm. This is based on what happens with other fat tyres I have. I haven't tried the Floyds on wider rims because I won't be using them on wide rims.
