Yea, you need these dropouts: Surly, art.no FS2008, when pushed back the wheel will easily clear the seat tube.Sad day. Went to ride this morning and the rear tire had swelled to the point in was stopped by the seat tube. No go, had to put a JJ 4.8. Need different drop outs.
Dry, fluffy powder can be very challenging, but with these tires in these conditions, you can take them down to 0psi, huge difference vs for example 1psi.I'm now the proud owner of a 2016 Blackborow with 2XL tires on Clownshoes, running 1x10 with Next SL crankset. Here's my initial ride reports:
Set up tubeless in front easily, haven't gotten around to doing the rear yet. First ride was on about 3" of very firm snow running 4psi. Amazing traction and great ride. 2nd ride on 5" dry powder on technical single track with some steep climbs. Ran < 1psi. Very slow going and had to walk steeper climbs. My buddies riding up to 4.8" did much worse and walked a lot more. I was a little disappointed that I had to walk at all but it was clearly an advantage over the lesser tires.
How have you weighted that? With 2XL and pedals? That's light.My powder bike (Blackborow/2XL's) weighs 33 lbs
