All,
What is the minimum tire clearance on each side between the tire and chain stays I should generally shoot for to avoid rubbing/problems? 1/8 inch? 1/4 inch?
I have a Mountain King 29x2.4 (they run narrow, btw) for the Rig and I have about 1/8th to 3/16ths of an inch between the outside knobs and the chain stay. 'Think that is too close?
The Rig isn't trail worthy at the moment, otherwise I'd just try it. One of the two tires I have is defective, so when I call my vendor tomorrow I'll ask that it gets replaced with a 29x2.2 instead of another 2.4 if y'all think that little clearance is a problem.
Thanks in advance.
Tim
