I'm looking at getting a new fork for the 29er and running an endomorph front tire. The fork thus hub spacing is limited to 100mm, but can I still run a wide rim/tire as well?

Know this is very basic for most here, but I just had to ask the dumb question. (Yes I did check the FAQ first and did not see anything right off)

Short answer = YES

Now for detail.

Do you want rigid :- http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/FK409C05-Surly+Pugsley+Fork.aspx?sc=FRGLUK&cc=USD 100mm spacing.

http://salsacycles.com/index.php/components/enabler_fork/ please note Salsa enabler needs a 135mm hub.

Or suspension :- Mav SC32 or DUC 32. See the Werdnesday and Dark side of Pugsley Posts. Needs the dedicated Maverick Hub http://www.maverickbike.com/main/do/products/productID/8

Also keep in mind the Enabler requires REAR disc spacing as well.

Enabler does require a rear 135 hub, like the Surly New Disc Hub. However, it will use your existing front disc brake. No funny business. Plain and simple.
