Or how much tyre is too much for a drop bar? Maybe better if I'd said 'traditional/common drop bar uses' rather than where drops makes sense ie makes sense to me.
For tyres, let's assume gravel to fast XC tread and volume on either size rim. I might go a bit bigger on a 29er as I'm on that route to more technical ability but the point's valid if you assume general 650B gravel tyre or 29er XC tyre.
All I'm getting at is how these things add up and a bike can have parts that pull in a direction or gives the bike a useful bias. But if a drop-bar fat bike makes someone happy, all good and no logic needed.
