Fast and furious p-650b, is that 27.5" wheels..?
9.2 kg :shock: that's heavy for such a beauty.. are you using lead-spokes..?

Odd question perhaps but is there much clearance for a larger rear tyre?

 

[Conrads]

lol Biocandy it's lighter than my steel SS.

yes you could put a 2.2 in the back but you would need to be careful of wheel flex. I've seen a few 29ers who have gone with big tires only to cut into their chain stays. Not good on a HT and no warranty either!

Yes Posh Mark the current tires are Kenda Kama 2.0 or Nevagal 2.1. The stans rims let the tire bulge a bit more than say mavic rims. 2.2 on the front no problem. but I wouldn't go bigger than 2.1 on the rear with the stans rims.

Yes Biocandy 27.5 inches
