Hi all,

I am trying to find out the above. More specifically if a DHR2 2.4WT will fit. It is the last of the non-boost models.

My Google-Fu has deserted me. Can any owners help out?

Thanks,

Si

Former 2016 owner here and 17 model for that matter.

2.4 will fit but it will be tight and in my opinion will rub if loaded up with mud.ย  I took all the paint off the inner swing arm on my Five with a 2.35 Hans Dampf.ย  That was with an Arc 27 Rim.ย  The back of the Five is quite flexy and mud clearance was never really one of its strengths in my opinion.ย  The issue always seemed to be in muddy conditions, probably get away with it whilst its dry and dusty.

I've got a HR2 2.35 in the back of mine and it's just OK - I've rubbed the inside of the swing arm even with that on.ย  2.4 will be tight!

Same here, think mines a 2014/15 model ,a bit of mud and the 2.35 Hans Dampf rubbed the paint off, I just live with that, but I wouldn't go any wider...
