Is it possible to run the Rat Trap Pass with 26 x 2.35 with fenders?
What is the max tires with fenders to squeeze in the rear and front of the NFE.
The NFE looks lika an interesting rig as a commuter for all round use with
studded winter tires and fat pair of slicks.
One rig to mention in this
That's a good way to rock a one-by

YES. They are like what you read about in In Search of Excellence and so
