Is it possible to fit an Endomorph to Karate Monkey with standard forks. What size rim? Anyone got pics?

I'd doubt it, the Pugsley & fat forks exists for a reason, even on a narrow (50mm) rim it's still 90mm odd wide.

I have some fat forks for sale btw.

Endo on 30mm rim is 84mm wide, so go measure your fork...
70mm rim & 3" tyre is the largest combo on the rear end btw

motorman - do you have a karate monkey? I'm thinking of getting one but wouldn't mind swinging a leg over one first.

Sorry for the hijack ๐Ÿ˜€

I realise the other option is to fit a pugsley fork, but then I wouldn't be able to swap wheels and have a choice of 1/2 fat / 29er and my Pugsley would fall over........

What you need then OP is a fat fork, fat front wheel and endo you can quickly swap over.

Turns out I have all of the above and could prob be persuaded to part with it cheapness ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Cynic al, what do you have? I don't need a tyre but I may well be interested in forks and wheel.......

OK have the forks and a tyre, now just need a non offset front wheel..

although the KM as standard is really good, so I may not rush to 1/2 fat it...
