Anyone running the above bike with the 135 dropouts what’s the widest Tyre you’ve managed to run on the rear?

Thanks Ian

If the frame is like the 901, then the rear clearance is officially 'eff all'

2.4 HR2 didn't fit on. 2.2 Ardent does with 'just enough'.

Real shame, the bike is an absolute hoot, but the rear clearance is a pain in the arse. With the aforementioned Ardent I had to stop and drag the bike across a muddy field at the tail end of last year as the wheel would no longer turn. It's the only thing making me thinking of selling the bike

Cheers for the information.

The 901 has a different seat clamp set up but I think the frames the same otherwise.
