You might also get a little more chain/tire clearance by using a 7 speed
cassette with a spacer. Or just keep on with the smaller tire.

The other solution is to calculate what pneumatic support is necessary.
It might be that the OP does not need this width to achieve his riding
goals.
I've watched this wider tire business for the last year or two. It's
interesting. But at some point, we will go too far and degrade performance
Great ideas, Ted and Ian! I'll add that to the list of bits to look into
when I have the cassette replaced in a few months.

It's not an ideal solution, but one could move the crankset outboard a
fraction with a longer bottom bracket to achieve clearance for the
chain/tire. The solution is not ideal, as the chainline may be less
optimum, but for the investment of a longer bottom bracket (give or take
$30 for a Shima
Other potential solutions may be a bb spacer on the drive side or a longer bb.

Updating my experience after riding the 2.25" Smart Sams on more technical
terrain.
Positives:
Front tire is fantastic! They handle the terrain beautifully. So much more
confidence on the loose stuff than I had with the Dureme's (as expected).
Mud and sod areas no problem (not suck you in and k
Fantastic! I'm impressed those giant lugs fit in there.

I wasn't sure if I could put Schwalbe Ice Spikers on my Hunqapillar, but
after reading this thread, I decided to try them.
Turned out that they fit on my bike fine.

Cool. I like the grip king in the snow pile seeming to hold up the bike for

Sure sounds sound to me. There is no replacement for first hand
experimentation, its the gold standard. Also I think there is precedent for
using a front tire thats wider than the rear, like quasi-moto rear and
firecross front on the original Bombadil. I think the reasoning was
something like y
Thanks, Leslie. Yes, indeed. Here's to the adventure the next year brings.
Knowing I made 50mm Duremes work on these trails (with less speed, and
using LCG sooner on climbs) means that regardless of terrain I'm going to
be better off than I was last year. Grin.

On Sunday,
Thanks, Ted. Yes, you are understanding my desire and do a great job of
expressing the issues. I used a compass and ruler to sketch the difference
between 2.1" and 2.25" and it seems significant enough that I may well try
it (and if nothing else run the fatter tire on the front if it's tighter
Those charts have a bit of age on them; they'd work for your Hunq, but
you're right, the new ones would have more clearance. The Bomba sizes are
for the pre-diagonal ones... when I was waiting for mine, I also had a
good chat w/ Keven, he was talking about the new fork crown that's widening
Patrick,
If I understand your issue with bounce correctly, it can most likely be
addressed by adding more air regardless of how wide the tire is. I think
you have written about finding that out with your current tires (were too
bouncy, added air, now fine). So I doubt very much that bounce issu
The geometry charts are interesting. The two smaller sizes list 26 x 2.35"
as the max tire, but they didn't carry that MTB sizing over to the 700,
which has a max of 55cm (actual, I presume). So, 2.25 = 57 mm nominal size,
thus presumably smaller actual size so it just physically fits. But then
17 matches
