How much were you looking for that?

Ha! Good question. squinty eyes

Anyone know of any studded 26" tyres that are wider than 2.1"?

I think 45nrth do some but you might need a wider frame. And rim. And hub.

Thought I was being really (not very) funny but they do actually do some non-fat studded tyres, but not in 26".

These are 29x2.35":

CtBM is UK distributor for 45nrth.

Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro comes in 26x2.35"

You can always add your own spikes to regular tyres too...

Or stay in on the day it snows.

damn, i bought the RSP plummet for my other half and it arrived today.

looks fine but it has a maximum useable length of 26cm, and she needs 28cm of seatpost

Pedals with a few less MMs of stack? Saddle with a bit more lift in the rails?

time atac pedals, and it took quite a long time to find her a comfy saddle (selle italia) i just checked again, it is only 1cm too short. fuckety fuck

Or stay in on the day it snows.

I live in Finland. That day can last for four months.

Fair enough.

Just use it 1cm over it's minimum insertion, what's the worse that could happen?

Post breaks or frame gets fucked.

Or both.

D'ya reckon 1cm might be within acceptable tolerances?

E.g. If I was making them I wouldn't mark the limit as the true limit, there'd be margin for error factored in...

Edit: Anyone on here makes them can advise?

Some kind of stylish double clamp will probably let you get away with it.

is there a 27.2 double clamp?

That one?^^

Although it looks like it's out of stock on carboncycles.cc

yep, was being dumb. there is a kcnc one available

I accept no responsibility for broken posts or frames, although it'll probably be fine.

I'm sure it's some kind of bargain price, but... "lovely welding" ?!?!

I took my 26" rigid mtb and 24" bmx to some trails today and the bmx was so much more chuckable and lolworthy. But a bit shit because no gears or much brakes.

Should I fit a little stem and risers to the mtb or hub gears and brakes to the bmx?

little stem on mtb for sure.
gears on bmx will loose the chuckability

Any recommendations? I want silver and it seems to be £9 off eBay or £60 from Hope and not much inbetween.

what length you lookin for?
