They come up pretty square (even more exaggerated by the tread pattern), but they ride okay. I ended up missing the volume of the 2.5 Aggressor and swapped back in the end...
Wish they'd do an Exo or DD casing of the Minion SS in a 2.5, would be a barrel of laughs.

You'll be fine. Once upon a time much fatter tyres were put on much skinnier rims.

30. Goldilocks of inner width.

26 rear is a good option but best suited to run a 2.3" tyre out back only IMO. Fraction too narrow for 2.5's in an ideal world. They'll go on fine, but bottom out more easily as the sidewalls aren't as vertical, and possibly bounce/chatter a touch more or under brakes if the back starts getting a bit skatey.

@pink poodle fat bike wheels won't fit frame.
My moto is don't back off unless you are upside down and on fire!
@beeb not likely to go bigger than 2.3 on rear anyway.
With xmas coming, excuse to spend a bit but supply options are quite limited.
Thanks for replies.

Hi again. Turns out I'm not all that up with lefties. Fork seems to run fine on a small road test. Was wondering about the little red cap on top of the fork before I become too heavy handed. Is it some compression or rebound knob or just an air valve cover.
I have had a light try to turn it but no go, should I bring out the pliers to turn it. I'm assuming the lever is lockout, if so, can I remove the ugly lever as I will never use it

looks like a rebound adjuster to me. Aren’t lefty air valves in the ‘lower’?
From the look of those bolt heads it’s been in the salt air or a creek for a fair while so you should pull the fork and seatpost etc off and apply some fresh grease.

Good idea, actually didn't think about that. It came from Kingscliff beach.
I had a lefty elo fork for about 2 weeks and the valve was at the top. Shall check it all when changing bars today

Fuck fat bikes! But surely you can fit a 33-36mm rim and tyre in there @Brow ?

I don't ride hard enough to prob use the extra width. Figure I can always upgrade to a wider rim in the future if I got the rest sorted too.
Seems the longer I put off buying the less is available.

soft-arse Yuley is on the lifts again
Was up at Bright last week and bottomed out my shock pretty hard a couple of times. I was just putting in a larger volume spacer when i noticed a small o-ring floating around inside the can.
It’s a Fox DPX2 on a transition Sentinel.
The o-ring is cracked through/broken and has dislodged from its usual home.
What is it?
Where does it go?
How vital is it (do i stop riding until it is replaced)???
