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
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?

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
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
with 38mm and fenders for mostly paved roads.

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
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.

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
Hi Justin,
FWIW, the April 28 email newsletter featured a 60cm web special platy with
2.3" Teravail Ehlines. Will said: "It clears easily, although I wouldn't go
any bigger. I suspect these tires are measured knob to knob, because
calipers showed them as closer to 2.1 than 2.3. Still good!"
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.

I know it's beyond the official max tire size but wondering if anyone has
experience with big ol' tires on your Platy. Specifically, a 29'er 2.25
Thunder Burt (mounted on a Cliffhanger) on a 60cm Platypus. Thanks!
