Well I just got home from work and just put the tire on I think i might be able to fit 2.0 on this baby. Iam going to get a Maxiss Ignitor 2.0 I here its more like a 1.9 in size seems as if I have a little room to spare let me know what u guys think please?:thumbsup:

Ok, but have you made really sure that if you fully compress the fork the tire does not contact the bottom of the fork crown and send you endo? Remember that fully compressed means compressing any end of travel limiting bumper as far as it will go. This might not be easy. Some travel limiting internal spacers may be needed.

Be really cool if no internal mods are needed to a run an Ignitor.

I have done 2 1/2 foot drops with this tire Iam very confident, haven't had any problems.

Pretty sure you're not going to squeeze an Ignitor in there - it has a fair bit more volume than the XR, and taller knobs as well. How tight is the rear?

From the look of those pics and the lack of clearance, there is no way you'll fit an Ignitor in there.

 

[MendonCycleSmith]

Yup, you'll need a shoehorn to get an Ignitor in there, and a bunch of time with a razor knife to make it roll

How's it ride?

 

[B-RAY]

It rides like a dream. Your probably right about the Ignitor, though. However, I was told by many on this board that the Panaracer Fire Cross would never fit in there either. My front tire of choice is now the Panaracer Fire Cross. Most MTbers ride either a rigid or a hardtail and use a higher volume tire to absorb the shock. I ride a full suspension bike to absorb the shock and use a skinnier tire in order to gain some of the benefits of a 29er. I love my Epic and my Fox 100x Fork and this is my way of having the best of both worlds.

You forgot to mention that you use a "suspension seatpost" too.

Thanks. I've never seen one before. Especially not on the Turner board.

(Guess I didn't use enough smilies. :madman: :madmax: ).

Maybe you could fit a Nanoraptor in there. It is smaller than an Ignitor.

There's a Turner board!?!?!!

The clearance on the rear wheel looks tighter than the clearance on the fork. Can you show us close up photos of the rear wheel and tire and how close it comes to touching?

Too tight for a 2.1!

The 2.1s all get a taller casing as well as width, the only other option that might work is Conti Vapor listed as a 28 x 2.1 but its not a true 2.1. Karma 1.9 probably won't fit but its wortha try if you have friends at the LBS. I've been searching for the same type tight fit and thats all I have found.
