These are Velocity Dyads, 36 hole. They aren't tubeless as of right now, but am planning on converting them in the future. Ryan - you are correct, Riding Mountain it is! Going to start in Neepawa, ride to the West Gate, all the way across the park to the old East Gate, then back south to Neepawa.

The Fatlantis is a special beast. Fitting a 2.25 isn’t a problem on my 2012 model. https://plus.google.com/photos?pid=5882740672761776354oid=114339590269760877010 On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 9:41:13 AM UTC-5, Mark Reimer wrote: In about ten days I'm doing a long-distance challenge of sorts -

Oh MAN! That is awesome. I'm not sure the year of my Atlantis, nor do I know if the clearances changed over time, but I've got to try this now. That looks so awesome. On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 12:45 PM, john muhl johnm...@gmail.com wrote: The Fatlantis is a special beast. Fitting a 2.25 isn’t a

That looks so good! So I have a question for you: Almost every bike I've bought in the last 10 years or so has been as a substitute/proxy for the Atlantis that I really want, because I seem to fall squarely between Atlanti sizes. But, since I know that I would set it up with the biggest

Doug's right. I have a 87 PBH, and I'd buy a 58, but I could do just fine on a 61. I've ridden both (multiple times). I still want one. Sometimes I think I should sell my Bombadil to finance a Fatlantis, but then I start to miss the Bombadil. I have already sold my Hillborne to finance a

FYI - I measured my PBH at home as 90.1. That was the average of three tries while really give'n er. When I visited Riv, Kevin measured it for me and with some extreme discomfort I stretched out to 91, then 92then 93. Ouch. I ride a 58cm Atlantis and test rode a 61cm. Riv would put me on a 61

Sweet sweet setup! To your question I did try out one end of your spectrum, I'm around a 90pbh and lucked into a used 64cm Atlantis locally which I rode enthusiastically for about 6 months before deciding it was to big. The final straw in that decision was putting on fat rubber and
