here is my 2007. I picked up the frame from ebay, and built up from there.
wow 2.7 is mega wide....i honestly dont know why you'd want anything that wide, but right now i run 2.1's on my fantom comp ds, and i'd say there's 3/8" of clearance at least on each side of the tire, so if they do in fact ACTUALLY measure 2.7" wide, then yes they SHOULD work...that is if in fact my 2.1" tires are actually 2.1".....Moto Rider said:Oh, someone emailed me a question. They would like to buy a FS fantom comp frame on ebay and would like to know if the tires that he already had would work with this frame. 26in wtb wheels and 2.7 tires.
Will a 2.7 tire work with that frame?
This is not for me. I got a email and someone was asking me about this. here is the email received.snobrder5 said:wow 2.7 is mega wide....i honestly dont know why you'd want anything that wide, but right now i run 2.1's on my fantom comp ds, and i'd say there's 3/8" of clearance at least on each side of the tire, so if they do in fact ACTUALLY measure 2.7" wide, then yes they SHOULD work...that is if in fact my 2.1" tires are actually 2.1".....
well like i said, in THEORY it will fit...b/c the opening is large enough....but i would not suggest running that size tire b/c you do want more space than what he'll end up with between the tire and the chainstay...for mud clearance, etc....if his wheel gets the least bit out of true, he wont even be able to LIMP off the trail, b/c there's no tolorence there....see with a 2.1 tire you could atleast ride to the car if it's not INSANELY bent...just some stuff for you to pass along to him....tell him good luck, but dont use that tire....Moto Rider said:If that size tire wont fit. Then how about the maximum tire size he can run. I would like to give him some kinda answer.

I'm sorry, I personally don't have any photos of the 16" frame. However, my fantom has the 18" frame. I realize it's not exactly what you wanted but it does give you some idea.williamkwong said:I am interested in buying a Fantom Elite soon. DOes anyone have pictures of the 16" frame? Thanks.

PS. MORE PICTUREs :madman::lol:
2.2 in Kenda's bearly fit on my bike, the front FD kind rubs when in the granny gear. :madman:nico2me said:Not sure about a 2.7 and IMHO, I would not go wider than a 2.3 for several reasons as snobrder5 mentioned..... it is just not practical at all. Even if it fits, you will have no clearance whatsoever to allow for mud, etc.
