Anybody got a line on a frame and/or fork that will clear 2Xl's on 135mm rims? I bought the rims and tires and frame tubing over a year ago and haven't even checked the gas in my torches yet. I saw that they have some local brand in the Philippines that clears a 135 rim. Anything orderable in the USA?

You could try contacting Scott at www.quiringcycles.net regarding the Triple B. It say 5.1's on 100mm rims but it possible he wasn't aware of 135mm rims or they didn't exist at the time he wrote that description. I've seen them in real life and I'd be kind of surprised if the combo you're asking about doesn't fit.

@rocwandrer I just measured my setup. 105mm carbon rims, 2xl's on a MPR carbon fork. I have about 3/8" of clearance between the tire and the fork each side.

I am not sure of many more forks that have massive clearance. Maybe a Surly Ice Cream Truck fork?

Hope this helps.

I mean, the point was it hasn't happened yet...
This picture shows a 26x5.05 on 135 on the left, a loose 26x4.8 in the middle, and a loose 26x4.0 right.

What are the exact dims of the 2XL on that rim?

I presume it's tubed? Do you think it's fully stretched -- as big as it's going to get?

I still have at least one -- and maybe two -- 12 x 217mm rear hubs left for projects like this.

Microsoft Advent 9 spd with a boost ring m3 on race face 120mm cinch fatbike cranks would probably fit on a 197mm rear hub. Chain line would be functional with no rub.

Like Mike said. Measurement that beast!

Great, go to pedal and your bike goes BSOD!

A quick googly only came up with beach cruiser 135s. Do you have a source/link for more useful rims?

BSOD? No, I run Linux...

Really wish the OP would get us some width measurents. I still have clearence on the rear of my v3 mayor on 105s.

Just hadta on the BSoD, something Unix doesn't do.
I'd do it but only have Clownshoes although, I do have a V3 and V4.

Nice! Maybe there is hope of some progression finally making its way back into the fatbike world.

Where's Espen with those 3XL 5.6 prototype tires? Must say, that rim is lovely.

Redrilling them to 32h would be no big deal.

Lacing, tensioning, truing = all fine.

Having to fiddle with a ghetto tubeless setup = dealbreaker. Especially going in knowing how likely it'll be to fail or at least burp at snow-low pressures.

Purdy however, like mentioned tubeless nightmare and stem breaks galore at sand n snow pressures if tubes were involved.

Fatties stripper tubeless doesn't look like too big of a deal on these. Spoke hole indexing might be. Guess get an accurate measurement of diameter, two good spoke hole lines and start marking 16 on each every 22.5 deg.
