my brother's got a parkwood and want to get as fat a rear tyre on the back as possile, in 29er set-up.
currently has original 2.25 smorgasboard but would like more volume.
any recommendations?
what have you managed to squeeze in?

Clearance is pretty tight on the back. Biggest I managed was a 2.35 Rock razor and even then it buzzed the frame when really leaning the bike over in the corners. Keep an eye on the inside of the seatstay close to the seat tube if you go wider
thanks jake. does look like the 2.4 off the front would fit. might get something in about 2.4 and jus tstick it on the front if too tight for the back
TBD, Smorgs are massive. If he wants bigger he's in fat territory
there's a fair bit between 2.25" and 4" weeksy. he just want bigger than 2.25" if it'll fit in the frame. 2.4" is hardly fat territory
2.6" nobby nic fits fine on i23 rims turns out. wider rims would be better obviously, just for profile, but wider than 2.6" wouldn't fit i think
