Apologies for taking so long to post again on this thread! Thanks to all who had a thing or two to say and took the time to post links to pictures and whatnot. Sadly, I've been swamped with work, life happenings, other projects and varying other $-suckers so still no new tires on the Hunq!

I've not a had a Hunq, but I can speak a sec about the Bomba... I originally ordered mine as a layaway frame. Before I finished paying it off, they'd changed it up from the 2TT style to the diagonal middle tube. I instantly fell for the new style, and as I was paying off the layaway, paid

From personal experience, the bean-colored era Hunqa can clear 2.25 front, 2.1 rear (Smart Sams). Green era Hunqa's I believe can do 2.25 front and rear (but I don't have one of those so others will need to verify). With abandon, Patrick On Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 10:31:58 AM UTC-7, Ant
