There is no free lunch in bicycle frame design, and every benefit (in this > case, really fat tires) comes with a cost (wide Q). Unless you dent the chainstays. I had a steel Diamond back that took 60 mm tires with fenders and room to spare, and I used the Cyclotourist on it with a special bb spindle, with a Q of only 160, and that was probably a good cm more than I needed for clearance. On my current Monocog 29er, I am running true 65 mm tires with fenders and just barely enough clearance at the chainstay junction, but they fit. Q -- but it's a road Truvative with a single ring in the outer postion -- is 150. -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM Professional Resumes.
