Hey Folks, I have a 56cm 2TT sidepull Sam Hillborne and a 56cm BMC Monstercross (non-disc). Sam is my road bike (that I occasionally ride on trails), the BMC is my dirt / mixed surface tourer / bikepacking bike.
Sam has Snoqualmie Pass, my BMC has 2.1" Thunderburts. These bikes are so similar that I feel like I can consolidate them into one. I love the BMC (really, what a wonderful bike!), but I'd also like to keep a Riv in my fleet because I want to support them. I'm wondering if I can use a canti Sam as a dual-duty bike by just swapping tires. A comfy mixed surface road bike (with Snoqualmie Pass) and also a dirt tourer (Thunderburts). I'd like the ability to swap between Snoqualmie and Thunderburts on the same bike. So, to the point: do 2.1" Thunderburts fit on a Canti Sam? Riv lists 47mm as the widest tire it'll accommodate, but I'm wondering if folks have differing experience. They'd likely be mounted to Velocity Dyads. Thanks for your input!
