Got an old on one inbred with krampus fork at the moment. I’ve gone 29+ at the front and keen to go fatter at the back. Anyone know where I can get hold of an old 135mm 29er frame that will take a fatter 29 tyre. Ideally 3 inch but even just comfortably fitting 2.4 would be fine
Singular Rooster is 135mm at the back and takes a 3 inch tyre, if you can find one!
Current Genesis longitude will take 29x2.4 and I think, although I'm not sure, some older versions might take fatter again.
Got a Large yellow Singular Rooster Frame & Fork I've been thinking of selling. Let me know if interested.
The original Krampus was 135mm at the back.
The original Krampus was 135mm at the back.
So will the new one too (I think you may have to use in insert or chip of some sort though)
Singular swift MK1 with a 2.4 ardent up the back.

Velo Orange Piolet of Surly ECR?
ECR needs some canny adapters but lets in 3 in tyre at the back, Piolet 2.4 at the back, both 3 at the front. Both a bit touring oriented though.
Should admit I've not seen either in the flesh but both look the business on paper (or screen)

Probably depends on the specific tyre, the Goma 2.4 fits with acres of space, 2.6 might but could be a bit tight if it was a big 2.6 or rim.
Anyway, scratch that the scandal has a 148mm rear ☹️
MK2 Singular Swift will take Plus rear. Not sure about 3" on a 50mm rim, but certainly 2.8 on a 40.
Just sold mine.
Size? Small Longitude Mk1 (29+) on fb at the minute
Stooge?
Older Jones plus has 135 rear, but then comes with the odd 142 front..
More recent Kona Unit frames have decent rear clearance, and they have sliding swappable dropouts. I've got a 2018 frame with QR dropouts and a krampus fork, it happily takes 2.6 in the rear on a 35mm rim.
