How to take care of the Wolverine's unique rear triangle?

Follow our official max tire guidelines which is 700c x 45mm with fenders and 29 x 1.95 without fenders.

Why is using too big a tire a possible problem?

a) To fit a fatter tire than recommended requires user to slide the insert to the rear of the dropout. Sliding the insert to the very rear creates extra leverage on the dropout and the frame versus having it in the center or front of the slot.

b) Using fatter tires makes the rider think he/she can ride more aggressively than the frame tubing is designed for. The Wolverine is not an XC/trail bike.
