Phew, mine is arriving mid day and I was sweating the fit!View attachment 1021495
Hooray! I have a Snowshoe 2XL (26 x 5.05) mounted on the front of my Mongoose Vinson without any special modifications. The rear tire is a Snowshoe XL 2(6 x 4.08). Unfortunately, the 2XL does not fit the rear tire. Additionally, it will not fit the front or back of my 18" Fatty Wompus.
This is where I bought mine: accessori borse bikepacking fat bike - GOMMA 26X5.05Hey there,
Any links for stores that sell Snowshoe2XL in Europe?
your best bet might be to fit a Mendon Cyclesmith Lefty. It's possible that one might be able to tweak the offset of the wheel enough on a clown shoe and massage the offset of the shock enough to make it work. as for other manufacturers? don't hold your breath.I have a couple of Design Logic frames that will fit the 2XL arriving in a month or so but I sure can't find a front shock that will fit this tire. Does anybody know of a shock that will fit this tire?
I wonder how long we will have to wait for RockShox or someone else to bring such a front shock to market.
No - they are both 197 thru's. Another example of Bikes direct posting incorrect information. 190mm for qr, 197 for thru axles.Sturgis
2015 was 190mm
2016 is 197mm
Don't think they updated the rear end drawing on the 2016 link
im gonna be totally honest with you, I had more clearance on my moonlander and i got it to rub. I think its a rear hub/stiffness issue.Front fork, about 6 mm clearance:
Rear, about 4-5 mm clearance:
Seat tube, about 12 mm clearance:
Chainstay (1st gear), 2 mm extra spacer installed between crank/BB, 2-3 mm clearance:
P.S. Good offer for M-size Blackborow in Germany: Salsa Blackborow 1 26'' Fat bike bike metallic grey 2015
I'm 190 lbs and I've riding about 50 miles. No rubbing at all, no marks of it too.Laskimasa, can you tell us how heavy you are and how long you have been riding with no tire rub?
That's the one. Great job on the build. That is pretty close to my dream bike that you are making. Is it too late to change the frame to fit a 6" tire?You may be referring to my Design Logic bikes. I talked to Lance Portnoff today. He is making two (4130 straight gauge chromoly tubing) frames for me now that will fit the Snowshoe XXL. I will have the bare frames a month from now and I will post pics in this thread as soon as I receive them.
When I am done, it will look like this, but with Vee XXL tires and a front shock:
