Sep 20, 2003 8:49 PM | | Does anybody on this board have a coil shock on their Hollowpoint?
And what's the biggest tires you can fit between the stays? |

Sep 21, 2003 2:37 AM | | The clearance issue isn't to do with the stays; it's the yoke brace running between the top and bottom stays in the centre of the tyre that has the problem. I have about 6-7mm running Michelin WG XL S and Front S 2.1 UST. Tyre volume/profile is the critical factor. (Not that it bothers me much, and I've just ridden through our winter).
Using the stock Float AVA. I've heard a few guys are running Romic and Fox coils. See hcor.net |

The eye opener for me with the tire clearance issue was how big a variance there is between different brands and models of similarly sized tires. The 26" x 2.0 Larsen TT that came stock with my HP Expert had less clearance than a 26" x 2.1" Fire XC Pro. If I remember correctly, Todd from IH found a 2.3" tire that cleared.
Got a couple of sample clearance shots in this post.

| Some sports in Canada came with Cane Creek..... | Dropout
Sep 21, 2003 7:06 PM | | Coil is definitely more prevalent, but I have seen 3 sports in Canada with the cane creek. So if you call around and look you may be able to find sports with the cane creek. |
