Been playing around with a few semifat tyres & rims to see how wide I can go with them before they foul the chain/front mech using all three chainrings on a standard frame .... the result is this ......

It has a 3" x 24 rear tyre on a 2" rim in the rear & a 3" x 26" in the front, ran the tyres at 10psi last weekend in the snow & it worked pretty good.

Have tried the rear wheel in an Mmmbop & a 456 as well. if anyone wants to do their own I've just posted some rims/tyres in classifieds
lol, i thought i had done well squeezing my 2.4 rubber queen on my blue pig
looks good anyway, how does it ride?
It rides really good, the size of the tyres coupled with low pressure gives amazing grip in sloppy mud & drives over the top of snow where a normal tyre just sinks in, plus they really smooth out rocky downhills.
On the downside they weigh a ton & are very draggy on tarmac.
Definitely give the bike more 'fun factor' when conditions demand them, well worth having a set in the garage without the major expense of building a proper fatbike
