Off to BPW on Sunday for the first time in years. Last time I was there I had 2.8 tyres on my Rocket and they fitted in the wider racks at the front of each trailer.
My RocketMAX has a tractor tyre on the front (DHF 29 x 3.0). Anyone now whether this will squeeze in or do I need to faff around on Friday (on holiday until then) fitting a Pirelli 2.6 I've got kicking around that's an unknown quantity in terms of grip?
Fingers crossed the answer is the one I want.
BPW themselves tell me 2.75 max but if I've had a 2.8 on there in the past I'll be OK with the same again, They swerved a direct question about a 3.0...
There was a bloke up there on the uplift last weekend on one of the old OneOn Fat Bikes which I think are 26x3.0, but other than that I don't really know
Take it and see. You'll just have to ride up if it don't fit 😆
Specialized butcher 29 in 2.6 fit.
I'd try it, then fit the 2.6 with a tube if it doesn't
I’ve had 27.5 x 3.0 Nobby Nics in there, on WTB i35 rims. It’s a pain having to get to those front two racks but I noticed yesterday a new type of rack on one of the vans being used, probably to accommodate longer bikes and fatter tyres.
watch out for the tall thin driver with long black hair, he retightened all the straps so much it rotated my carbon bars in the stem!
And one guy always has Jeremy Vine on the radio, so be careful that you don’t crash after the uplift because of increased stress levels after listening to him.
