[#1896361]

Endomorph tyre arrived today, and I don't have a frame or fork to fit yet.

This state of affairs cannot last, watch this space for some extreme bodging. 🙂

Had a Larry and an Endomorph complete with 100mm rims sitting in my garage for near 3 months... frame is on the horizon and should be with me within a few weeks.. give or take a few weeks for paint and build i'll be fully fat in a month 😛

No niche for me just the best solution to racing on snow.. tried the 2.5" tyre on a normal frame way and its just not the same.

I've tried it in every fork I have in the place. Didn't expect it to fit, but hope springs eternal etc...

endo`s fit in Bontrager 29er carbon forks- i dont know there model name, and for suspension the Maverick SC32, there has been a lefty fitted to a pug too but the axle required some fancy lathe work 😮

I have a solution in mind. A real bodger in a shed job.

I will have a usable fork tomorrow come what may...

Photos will be taken 🙂

(I'm on MTBR - just a different name because I lost my original name here in the Great Data Debacle)

as a thought...the old 2002ish 6" junior T fork could be used if you got a engineer/custom motorcycle dude to turn you some wider or offset yokes and thru axle to suit, but need a frame to suit a 6 " fork, i do have a old super v hanging up that with a refabricated swingarm could become a full suss fatbike :mrgreen:

I've got a fine collection of dead frames that will be organ donors for my Frankenstein 🙂

What I would like to is get my hands on is a busted carbon frame for some creative surgery. I don't suppose anyone has one lying around unwanted?

More good news - my 100mm rims have been despatched.
