Ben Beckett Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 it has high bb so that fat rim will mean you will need to cut your pads down so your crank arms don't hit the brake cylinder...... it will fit, but that's the downside...ye the tyre should fit.

Rumplestiltskin Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) I'm running a Tryall rim in mine at the moment which according to Tartybikes is 47mm wide, 1mm wider than an Echo 07. At one point I was running a 2.5 Nokian NBX on it as well which was a complete beast of a tyre. Rim was fine, but the tyre clearance was a bit dodgy - it fitted as long as the wheel was perfectly true, but as soon as I put a bit of a kink in it, it'd rub on the frame really annoyingly. My qr skewer kept slipping a bit which also made it rub. I'd say the rim should be fine, but if the Kenda's a similar size to the Nokian I was running, clearance might be a bit dodgy.Edit: What Ben said about the break cylinders is also true. I had to piss around for a while in order to get the crank/slave cylinder clearance right cos I kept bashing them every pedal revolution. Although, I run my cyclinders fairly far out from the rim as a personal choice, so if you run yours pretty close it should be totally fine.

So a 2.4 or 2.35 should fit perfectly fine ?Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumplestiltskin Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm running a 2.35 High Roller just now and its got miles of clearance, even though my rim is completely flat spotted and buckled ridiculously. Can't say about the 2.4, but if you keep your wheel pretty straight I'd imagine you could get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do run my cylinders pretty far from the rim. But still, he's got a point. I thought it happened with quite a few frame/crank combinations in general since frames started getting wider at the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
