This on an ICT just finished building, tubeless at 12 psi on HED 80 AL rims. Do not think on a 100mm rim would have any chance of fitting, I am concerned with frame flex that it will not work. Will give it a try on Thursday.
I have an ICT and the 2XL fits fine tubeless on hundos (Nexties) with no rubbing. I have the tires on 80mm mulefuts now and as some others have mentioned, the size doesn't change much between 80mm and 100mm rims; it's more the shape of the sidewall being more vertical with hundos.

Have anyone tried the 2xl on the rear of the F@r or F@e? I read a couple of posts here and on the f@r thread but nobody has actually tried the tire in the rear, no pics either. Can someone confirm this? I need to know if the Fuji wendingo/F@r/F@e frames fit the 2xl in any pressure up to the max psi without rubbing on the frame. Thanks

4.5 snowshoe and 2xl snowshoe combo

Fits my 250mm Sarma fork with 100mm wheels (up to 15 psi) and fits 80mm any psi . I regret not getting the 265mm or the 290mmm but the 250 was the only one in stock back in the summer. I have a ICT thru-axle fork on the way because I thought my Sarma fork was not going to work.

First ride on my brand new 2016 Blackborow with 2XL's this AM. We have 5" of wet snow and I was late for work so only had 3 minutes to ride! First ride through yard with 6psi and tires behaved like my Bud/Nate combo in fresh snow: front wheel washout and no traction. Deflated to 1 psi and it was a new bike: floated on top with endless traction and no wash-out! I'm psyched! May have reached free-range snowbike nirvana.
