Got some of these on a set of wheels I bought. Fitted the rear to my DMR Trailstar LT last night and there is barely a fag paper's clearance between the tyre and seatstays. Chainstays are fine. Are these an unusually *large* tyre compared with say a High Roller 2.35?
er, bigger than the H-R 2.35 - but those are pretty skinny.
i'd say they're just about right; they're sold as 'large volume' tyres, and they are.
they're brilliant on a hard tail; nice and big and soft* and grippy, almost a little bit like a little bit of suspension.
(*if you have a few less psi's)
Yes! These are measured with a real ruler and are MUCH bigger than 2.35 HR's.
I can see the obvious advantage of the higher volume but the clearance between seatstays and tyre is almost non-existant.
but it's not the tyre's fault.
you can get an Advantage 2.3...?
2.25" is the next size down, also much bigger than a 2.35" High Roller
I have a wire 2.4 ADvantage hanging in my garage - too big for the Inbred 🙁
Trailstars don't have the best tyre clearance - how was the 2.35 HR (thinking of getting one for my TS)?
What is there physical maximum width, at (say) 40psi?
On what rim?
_tom_ I'll let you know. This bike is a new build so these are the first tyres that I've tried.
Just changed a 2.1 for a 2.25 Advantage - noticeable hike in volume but no clearance issues on my new model Dialled PA. 🙂
2.1 Advantage is about the same size as the 2.25 High Roller.
Surprised the inbred has clearance issue - mate has run one of the 2.4's on his 456. Not much mud clearance on the wishbone above tyre but perfectly useable.
