I think the pedal clearance would be pretty much the same as running a 26" wheel with a 2.3 The diameter of the 29er wheel with a 28c tyre is approx 68cm which seems to be just a bit smaller than my 26" wheel with a specialized enduro 2.3 tyre on it. These are just rough measurements

There is quite a bit of clearance, although not as much as you would probably need. Dont forget that as well as getting wider the tyre would also get taller You might be okay with a 2 inch tyre - maybe even more, but it would be pretty much try it and see.

Its surprising just how much room there is. I think it would even be possible to fit a 2 inch tyre in there.

Ok thanks for that info. If i need to replace a dropout do the explosif /unit types fit? I see them available for the unit and explosif but not the lava dome.

Thanks Andy So were they producing frames with both types of dropouts (fixed and sliding) at the same time?

Hi Chaps I'm hoping somebody might be able to help me. I have just bought a Kona Lava Dome frame for my next project but i'm a tad confused about it. The frame has sliding dropouts yet every other lava dome frame i have looked at doesn't seem to have them. Are there any Kona experts...

Really elegant looking bike. I know exactly how you feel, i was into road bikes when i was younger too. Have been thinking lots about getting another recently. Thanks for the inspiration.

Beautiful job - really well done

There are some lovely looking bikes on here - already got me thinking of my next project.

Thats nicely done - the white suits it really well.
