Unless I'm mistaken, this would only allow a taller tire due to smaller rim diameter, but not necessarily a wider one since that would still be limited by chainstay/fork clearance. Correct?
Autodropltd, \n \nThanks for all of the input. I've only owned an aluminum bike, a Jamis Allegro flat bar road bike that has done surprisingly well as I've discovered the world of gravel. I don't figure it's a very…

Henry, thanks for the review. Looking forward to additional thoughts from you. How do you like the flared bar?
Henry thanks for that info. I really appreciate it. I guess I'm a bit confused though. With 45 or so cm available, how would an accurately sized 40c tire not fit?

Ken, that's a good point about ordering the bike in and I'll certainly take advantage. I also have a GT Grade on order that I'll be doing the same thing. It won't be in until June, though, so I have lots of time to…

Does anyone have one of these or has ridden one? Considering that with REI member discount it would be close to $1500 the component spec is amazing. I'm wondering about the frame for rough rides, though. They make no…
Anyone with a GT Grade Alloy able to comment on tire clearance? I can't find one locally to look at and the one I have on order won't be in until June. I know stated clearance is 35 but I really want to be able to run…
How tall are you that the 60 works for you? I was looking at the Tamland in a 60 and am 6'2". I may consider this bike, though, since the Tamland is over 26 lbs and more expensive.
Have you by chance tried to put any larger tires on it? I have one on order and am wondering what the clearance is. I'm hoping to fit wtb nano 40c but I know the stated clearance is only 35c. If nothing else, I hope the…
