Looking for a new toy, and im struggling to find any frames bar the On One's Scandle and Inbred that will take a big rear tyre. So looking for options and bike's I may not have thought of ?
Surly Krampus
singular buzzard
The Buzzard looks nice but bit to long of a wait. And didnt really want Fat, more a standard frame
Karate monkey?
Hans Dampf 2.35s fit OK in both ends of a Singular Swift.
Jones.
Well that is my main reason to find a new frame, as I like the HD that much but want a frame that can run them without to much clearance problems. I did fancy the Kinesis FF29 but it will only take a 2.2 🙁
I put some on my Canyon Al29 yesterday and there's loads of room. Cracking vfm bike 🙂
Depends how much you want to spend, the Scandal is great but if you can stretch to £330, the Genesis High Latitude can take big tyres as it has a plate chainstay.
I've had a Weirwolf 2.55" in the back of my Honzo, or an Ardent 2.4".
Tight, but no problems.
There's a very good value one in the classifieds if its the right size.
How big is big?
New Whyte's come with 2.2" Maxxxis Ikons normally (big for a 2.2" anyway) and there's tonnes of clearance for a bigger tyre in there!
chumba hx2 88mm between the stays.
surly karate monkey will take a 2.55 dissent on 47mm rim in the rear.
jones will take a 2.5 on 47mm rim no worries
banshee paradox and canfields also have monster rear tyre clearance.
running 2.4 x-kings on my singular swift and still plenty clearance. Fantastic bike, love it. Lots of fettling potential. Had mine fully rigid singlespeed, lovely. Just changed to 1x9 for some bigger rides. Will take a 100mm fork too. Frame has lovely feel to it, looks good too.
Yelli Screamy. I can fit a 2.35 Hans Dampf in the rear.
Huge amounts of fun.
Niner SIR.9 takes a 2.4 Ralph easily. Surly had some info on their site about the 29+ sizing on the Krampus, & going their measurements it should take the new Rabbit Hole rim with the 2.35 Ralph also. I might need the Krampus fork for the front though, as the Niner steel one is a bit narrow.
Salsa Mukluk, Surley Pugsley, On*One Fatty?
Cheers guys just what I wanted a list of bikes to have a look at. Yelli Screamy is jumping out at me though 😀
My Tomac Flint has loads of clearance and is otherwise very 'race-whippetty'.
Salsa el mariachi got plenty of room for tyres, I like your style. Oh those tyres are good best I buy a frame to fit them in 😉
Seams to be the best solution to a problem 🙂
