I'm doing more off-road miles on my Cotic Escapade and was planning to use it as a bit of a winter replacement for the mountain bike on some of the tamer trails I ride.
I was thinking there's enough clearance for an mtb tyre but wasn't sure if they'd work with my existing rims - Stans ZTR Alpha 400 - will the rims be too narrow?
Thinking of getting some 29x1.75 Smart Sams to stick on it.
Thunder Burts work fine in my alphas - 2.1, alledgedgteditly. come up around 52mm on the Alphas. Outside what's recommended by manufacturers, but no problem at all - aside from some paint rub on the forks - but that's nowt to do with the rims. Also had the burts/alphas on the wife's Swift. Worked fine there too.
What's the biggest you can fit in the Escapade frame and forks?
