Tried a 650b×42 tyre + rotor in Marin. Looks like I could go up to 2" without too much trouble. If I weld on disc tabs I think this is the way to go, giving me some synergy with my gravé bike, as both take 100/135mm QR 650b. And same tubes etc. but different tyres.
Current 26" rear wheel has disc fittings though so could retain that for even fatter tyres, just not sure it's worth investing the money in a 26" disc front wheel...
