Clearance issues between front mech and back wheel have been sorted out too.

Clearance issues between front mech and back wheel have been sorted out too.

How?

That's a lovely looking bike DarrenH (as are all Cotics)' but...I dunno...there's not much bandwidth between that tyre and the seat tube and mech 😐

Probably wouldn't cause me major problems, but you can see where it [i]might[/i] become an unsolvable issue at some point with the frame.

Thanks guys, had to get a hacksaw on the mech bikeneil, I'll get a photo on shortly.

jeez, thats tight......glad I bought a Soul for Scottish muddy gloop that I ride 8)

Hands Dampf 2.35 in the back --> not much clearance at all. Hacked off the back of the mech (the extra bit you don't need) which created a bit more. Still quite tight in the chainstays tho. Now run 2.2 Race Kings in there and enough room for the muddy seasons. Yeah it'd be nice to have a bit more clearance but not if it affected the handling.

Yikes! I'm assuming that that is only a 2.2 RQ as well?

No tall casing tyres for Solari then 😕

here's one with decent clearance : [img] [/img]

Oops, it's a Soul 😛

Yep, 2.2 rubber queens,
Clearance is better but it's still quite tight.
I might try a smorgasbord on the back later to see how that fits.

hmm...wonder if has anyone tried a 650b wheel in the back of a solaris??

Aw it's Solaris...that's a blast from the past. I still miss Sun Microsystems.

Oh yeah right. Subtle 🙂
