Eddy Current tyre on a Levo

[Paceman]

What’s clearance like running a 2.4” Schwalbe Eddy Current on the rear of a 2019 or 20 Levo? Enough room for a mudhugger or similar? Cheers.

I’m running a 2.6” Eddie (which measures 2.65”) and I’m running a mudhugger on the rear to protect the linkage. I only have about 5mm clearance but it works fine.

Thanks, that’s useful to know. I use a Mudhugger FRX on the rear of my 2019 Levo.

Forgive me to hijack the thread:
anyone who uses this mudhugger with MAXXIS 2.5 Assegai?

BTW: What do you prefer:
Eddy 2.6 /Magic Mary 2.6 / MAXXIS Assegai 2.5 / MAXXIS Minion DHR 2.4

...for mainly stones, gravel, gravel over hard - no mud (don‘t like ride in mud)

I’ve not used the 2.4 (well on my analogue I have) on my Levo. But I love the Eddie, it’s a monster truck tyre. I ride over mud, pebbles (nothing grips these) roots, loam etc. And it’s great, but so is the Maxxis. My maxxis measure 2.55 (supposed to be 2.6).

I ride a 2019 Levo Comp with the Eddy's 2.6. I bought the Mudhugger too but it didn't fit. When rotating the wheel it touches the fender. Tried to cut pieces away but I didn't managed to fit it. Possibly the difference is related to my alu frame compared to your carbon frame?

My expert is an Alu rear triangle. It was a faff, I too had to trim the lowest end as it snagged. All good now

Strange... I have the XL size. The chain was even touching the side of the mudhugger and my tire has a small wobble. (not the rim) Maybe this causes the difference then.
