    or any other Santa Cruz of similar vintage with the ‘Californian’ mud clearance in the rear triangle?

    Did it fit?

    I’ll take that as a ‘No’ then.

    or anyone put a Chunky Monkey in a Revelation?

    just realised how weird that sounds out of context..

    higgo, i’ve heard the Smorg is tall and fairly narrow (for a Maxxis 2.25). dunno, just ordered one.. geeky specs are here:

    I’ve got a Chunky Monkey / Rev combo, still a fair bit of mud room.
    It’s on an Arch EX rim so blows up BIG, really grippy tyre, dead impressed considering the price.
    Smorgasbord on the back, doesn’t seem massively different in shape as the High Roller ir replaced.
    Both are coping well with the compacted snow / sheet ice lurking around here….

    Hmmm….. tall could be a bit of a problem with the B4X rear end but, thinking about it a bit more, my HT is currently on a winter rear tyre with nothing to go back on in spring as we head for 6months of dusty, hot summer here on the Western fringe of the Dark Peak.

    So, I buy the Smorgasbord and, if it doesn’t fit the B4X it goes in the shed to go on the HT in a few months. No risk.

    using the very scientific “finger between tyre and frame” method, i’d say it’s about same size (highest and widest) as Advantage 2.25. but more rounded?
    grips better though, but about half a pound heavier (? haven’t weighed) so it should. nice, i’ll probably set this up tubeless and run it ’till summer then maybe back to the advantage. or not, Advantages aren’t very good are they why did i buy so many?

    thanks doom might try a Monkey on front too 🙂

    Running a Monkey in Rebas at the moment, my that is one big tyre!

    Plenty of room though… well… enough anyway 😉 Wouldn’t want to shoe anything much bigger in there!

    got a set of smorgasboard 29ers on my Scandal with rebas. Not much room on the rear but loads on the rebas. Wish I had gone for a chunky monkey front now. Running on 21mm internal rims and they look huge compared to 2.25 NN.

    ah so that depends on age of fork.. newer Rebas are like Revs? squarer arch. old curvy arch would be no go with a Chunky, or even the 2.25 maxxis i think.
