Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[DavidP]

Christian,

Did you damage a rim or are you switching to a dyno hub?

To me there seems to be not much difference between Atlas and Cliffhangers. 
Both are fairly hefty with the Cliffhangers being wider (25mm vs 20mm 
internal). For a Platy, the difference in rim width isn't going to make a 
big impact as all tires that will fit on a Platy will be fine on an Atlas.

My Platy has Cliffhangers and I sometimes think they are a bit overkill for 
the 50mm tires I am using but the ~55g weight difference of the Atlas rims 
isn't worth the switch. If I was using 42mm or smaller tires I'd definitely 
want a narrower rim (Atlas, Quill, Dyad, etc.).

Looking forward to seeing your made over Platypus.

-Dave

Also, not sure how I missed this, but Roman's 60cm Platypus on the Riv 
Staff Bikes pages is sporting 2.25 Thunder Burts. Not sure what rims those 
are mounted to, though, but they might be black Cliffhangers?

Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[Justin Kennedy]

Hi Christian et al.,

This was actually a question I posted for a friend of mine who was building 
up his Platty, and, long story short, the 2.25 Thunder Burts mounted to 
Cliffhangers do indeed fit the frame. Just barely, but they fit. I'll try 
to post some pics once he sends 'em. 

I have 2.25 G-Ones on my 60cm Platypus with plenty of clearance. They're 
mounted to Alex Adventurer2 rims, though, so a little narrower than 
Cliffhangers. 

FWIW, I talked to Rich at Riv about a year ago about Cliffhangers for a 
Platypus. He thought they were too wide for a Platy and suggested an Atlas 
or something similar. I ended up with the Adventurer2's which have been 
great. Plenty of evidence, though, that Cliffhangers work on Platypus 
frames. Whether they're "the way to go" or not is ultimately up to you.

 i25mm. I'm pretty sure this would work on my Platypus (60cm) if I didn't 
 have fenders installed which limit me to a 50mm tire.

I’m currently building up my Platy 55 frame, so I don’t have a lot to go on 
other than measuring clearances, but it looks like 50mm with any tread 
might be about the limit. *Maybe* 55mm with smooth tread. I’m fitting mine

Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[Lonnie]

I have Schwalbe G-one all around tires (29x2.25) on Cliffhangers on my 
Platypus and they've been great.  Fairly fast rolling, but plenty of 
traction for some loose trails.  The tires fit the frame fine, though I 
have to deflate them about to get them around the V-brakes.  The unexpected 
issue I ran into involved the chain being too close to the tire.  Drive 
train is old sugino touring triple and 9-sp cassette.  When in the granny 
ring and biggest two cassette cogs and when riding rougher trails, the 
chain would hit the tire and get sucked in between the tire and the 
chainstay.  This never happened on smoother roads.

I eventually bought the widest (and offset) Shimano bottom bracket that Riv 
sells.  That seems to have fixed the problem, even on the rough trails.

Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[Stephen]

Hey Justin,

I have a set of 2.25 schwalbe g-ones sitting around if you want to do a 
test fit. Not quite as knobby so maybe not informative enough. Fit fine on 
my appaloosa w cliffhangers, again not a perfect comparison.

Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[DavidP]

I have a bike with a 29x2.25 Thunder Burt on an i29mm rim, on which the 
casing measures wider than the knobs and is 56mm / 2.2" @ ~20psi. Variances 
in individual tires aside that should be a good max as the Cliffhangers are 
i25mm. I'm pretty sure this would work on my Platypus (60cm) if I didn't 
have fenders installed which limit me to a 50mm tire.

Re: [RBW] 2.25 Thunder Burt on a Platypus?

[Ryan Frahm]

I would say it isn’t likely. I have the Soma Cazadero 700x50mm on my wife’s 
55 with Cliffhanger rims and there is no room to spare.

No specific experience mounting that combo but I can tell you that 2.25"
tires on Cliffhanger rims, for me, measured 60mm. If you've got calipers,
you could check the spacing between tubes and get an idea from that.
