Some speculation here on my part, but I'll bet when Grant sits down to design a bike, he figures "I'll just give it plenty of room so no one has to worry about tire size." And here we are, filling up those spacious forks. After 7 years on 35s (Pasela, T-serve, Marathon, each "35" chubbier than the last), now they look kinda skinny on my Atlantis. This leads to the theorem:
"Rubber expands to fill the available frame clearance". dougP On Dec 8, 9:32 pm, Earl Grey <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Peter, > > here is a pic of my Sam with true 42mm > semi-knobbies:http://www.flickr.com/photos/25150...@n08/4211601286/ > > Looks like there is room for a fender, at least a plastic one.
