Hello

I have just fitted a new Nobby Nic 2.4" on the front of my bike and the Tyre clearance looks tight. The fork is a Reba SL 100mm, 2008 I believe.

What do you think about the tyre clearance? It has about 6mm space between the middle "nobs" and the fork.

So will this be enough? Does the Nic clear mud well? I ride in Epping Forest which has a lot of mud at the moment...

    Wrong tyre for Epping at the moment, you won't get a lot of grip and the clearances are too tight so the mud will clog up and bring you to a halt.

    the tyre is fine in the fork.

    but please dont use private settings for your photos or no one can see it.

    I've got 2.4 fat alberts with reba 100 sl n never had a problem. As long as they're not touching they should be fine. Try it n if it causes problems change them

    I use a 2.4 Nic with a 130 mm Tora and there isn't enough clearance under the fork bridge to fit a Neoguard. Stones and pebbles have taken a few pieces out of the fork bridge but it doesn't clog up.
