The rims are from Speedway Cycles in Alaska. They are the 29″ version of the rims I use on the fat front tire bikes. It will fit in the regular Truss fork but it is not a very stiff rim (single wall) and it may not be strong enough for rough trail riding when built with a 100mm disk front hub. The same would be true if built with a 9 speed rear hub instead of a single speed hub like on this bike.
My bike has the same wheel set. The ride is great. The tires are very stable even at low pressure and so far they have held up to all my riding.
The rims measure 2″/51mm wide on the outside. The fork has plenty of room for the wide rims and tires. My bike has wide rims front and rear rims with 2.3 Geax Gato tires and the clearance fine.
Looks great with the big rims.
What are they and would the front one fit in a standars truss fork?

Thanks Jeff.
How wide are they?
Do you think the Kris Holm 47mm rims would fit in the rear and standard truss fork?

Great.
Looks like I’ll be building some new wheels then. :o)
