Yes, it is a nice bike, I'd like to see a crowned fork on it, but regardless.

Hooch or locojoe,

How wide are the Kenda Kraze 24X3.0 when mounted? For example, the Nirve ...... which spec at 26X2.125 but are more like 2.3-2.4 when mounted.

Thanks, Steve

Oops looks like the tire name cannot be mentioned but it looks like ...... = beep

This is on a rim that is about 1.25" in width.

Am I reading 2-11/16"? If so, that'll suit me just fine for a few frames I have. And that's the kenda kraze 24 x 3, right?

 

[socal_jack]

Thanks locojoe, that's awesome info. I thought it might be less than 3 from your seat stay clearance.

Yes that's what I read when I measured it. Yes it's the 24x3 Kenda Kraze. Keep in mind it could vary depending on your rim.

 

[socal_jack]

Thanks again aka_locojoe, got mine mounted measured 2.75" wide barely more than you measured( 2 11/16) on a 24X1.75 rim. Probably have 3/16" gap to chain with rear wheel centered.

Side shot, just a mockup still want to paint the clamps black and maybe smoke the legs, probably not the final bars either. Should be a smooooth ride.

 

[Clothespin n]

looking good Socal!
that chain is pretty close hey? ahhh...lotsa room :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

....maybe a set of Straight Bars dropped. :?:

i really love the fat tire bikes you all have posted on here ....

now i was wondering if anyone knows if they sell a 24X3 in Brick Red?

i am thinking....... a 24 Mead Ranger on steriods ..... but i cant loose the red rollies ....

i think its to far gone to restore hmmmm.....

i am so going to have to build one ....

but only if i can get the tires in brick red!

What size tubes are you guys putting in these? Big daddy has a tire waiting to go on a bike, but he needs to find the right tube. Are you guys using a regular 24" tube for cruisers and over inflating it or do they make a 3" tube, which we can't find? I get all kinds of answers from the LBS's around here (not so much the L but alot of BS's)! :mrgreen:
Any info would be appreciated.

Great looking bikes. Thanks for all the pics!

24x3 tubes are around but they are hard to find, sometimes mountain bike stores carry them for freeride/DH tires(some bikes run a 24 rear), these guys have some on the bay. The big tubes do cost, my freeride tubes are udually $8-9 each and heavy.

I got mine from Kenda when I ordered my cheap tires. They're the down hill tubes and these things are thick to prevent punctures http://www.kendausa.com/bicycle/tubes.html ...Kelly

I'd guess that they don't exist.
