Fullfatsix 10.0 - Tyre Size

[Aasenh]

Hello.
Anyone upgraded tires on the Fullfatsix?
How wide tires wil fit?

I think you might get a Jumbo Jim 4.4 in the rear triangle but not a 4.8. The Bluto specs say max tyre width as 116mm so 4.4 there as well.

I've got a set of 26 x 4.7 Barbegazi's mounted on 80mm DTSwiss 2250 wheelset, I've tried them on and they appear to fit with clearance, not tried them on the trails yet but if they do then they are pretty much the biggest you will get on the rear without contact issues. I also run a set of 27.5 x 3.8 Minions and they fit and run lovely.

I have ordered a set of 45nrth Flow-/ Dunderbeist. They are listed as 26x4,6 but i've seen them on another forum measured to 4,2 on a 80 rim.
They are still in the mail, so I guess i know in a couple of days if they fit or not.
I hope to get something with better traction when it is wet and muddy.
My 4.0 Jumbo Jims are not any good in the wet...( mild understatement)

I kept to 4.0 wide but swapped to the MINION FBF & FBR for extra grip (everywhere!)

That's what I've got on now but in 3.8 x 27.5 flavour on ARC 45 Rims built onto Hope ( Mad Bee) Pro4 Fatsno hubs. I've also upgraded the display to a Yamaha Type C LCD that pairs with Komoot for navigation, straight swap and its a fabulous setup

After mounting the Beists, i can conclude with the following:
Front (Flowbeist: more than enough clearance.
Rear (Dunderbeist ): more than a little bit tight.... picture is taken with 8psi.

I think i'll try them like this, for a while, and see how it goes. First impression is that the rear has massive grip in the dirt!

I'd say that's a bit too close for comfort, any stones and mud trapped in those massive tyre lugs will act like grinding paste on the frame

Hey. I’ve just purchased Fullfatsix 10.0. I’m currently waiting for 45NRTH Wrathchild 26x4.6. After seeing this post I’m quite uncertain.. will they fit the rear tyre? Aasenh: have you been riding this winter with the clearence you posted on the picture with your 4.6? How was it?

Hello, i used the 4,6 Dunderbeist for a short period in the summer. It was really a thight fit, I ended up making scratces on the frame, so I replaced the rear tire with a 4,2 45nrth Van Helga.
For winter I run 4,2 45nrth Wrathlordes.
I don’t think the wrathchild will fit. If it does, could you please post a picture? If it fits, I would concider changing tires next winter. I am very satisfied with the wrathlordes, but I could wish for some more float…

Okey. Thanks for the reply. My tyres havent arrived just yet, but I think I will return one of the 4.6tyres, and use one 4.6 in the front and one 4.2 on the rear wheel. Anyways, I will try a 4.6 on the rear, just to see. But for what I can tell by watching your picture on the clearence with a 4.6 (if im right?), im going to use 4.2 in the back.

Thanks!

Yes, I am. I wrote Response Nordic, wondering about the maximum size on the backwheel. They wrote me back. In norwegian though...

"Vi er flere som benytter Wrathchild, men det er på håret at det går. Det må lirkes på plass, gjerne med litt lite luft. Og, du vil nok kunne oppleve at det kommer borti rammen så vidt når det går fort, og hjulet utvider seg i høyden.

Wrathlord er litt mindre, og vil således kunne passe ørlite bedre, men Wrathchild går med ett nødskrik."

Jeg satte beskyttelsesfilm på ramma der Dunderbeist lagde riper. Ble så tight at du hørte dekket subbe borti, bare på tykkelsen av filmen…
Men gi gjerne beskjed om du får det til å passe - kan være jeg vurderer å bytte.
Hvor holder du til i Norge?

Ok. Jeg bor i Trondheim, men har enda ikke fått på piggdekkene. Wrathchild kommer forhåpentligvis uka her, men da blir jeg jo bare å bruke det ene.. Nå ser det ut til at jeg fant en butikk i USA som selger Wrathlorde. Ellers finner jeg ingenting... Det tar sikkert litt tid å få de da. Hvor bor du?

Can you write that in English also, so that the rest of us can benefit from your knowledge? Thank you.
