Max tire on the MIT Atlantis

[Hugh Smitham]

This here is a call out to those with an MIT Atlantis.

What's the largest MTB tire you've successfully squeezed on the old girl? Looking to put some meat on the Atlantis, 2.4 would be ideal but I notice the Rivendell Geo chart has 2.2 as the max. James at Riv said 2.35" so figured I'd ask current owners.

TIA,

Hugh n LA

I am currently running the 26” Super Yummy which is 26 x 2.22 and I would not go much larger. If you want close up pics of anywhere let me know and I can do it in the daylight. Mine is a 2004 or 2005 model.

I appreciate the offer but I'm looking for the 2018 to present model Atlantis clearance.

I should have been more specific, I have a 53cm, so 650b x largest size anyone has been successful with.

Hi Hugh,

I was able to get 700c x 60mm/2.35" G-One Speed tires mounted to Cliffhanger rims on my MIT 55cm with no chainline interference. Even put a Simworks x Nitto Flat 65 fender over it.

[Hugh Smitham]

Thanks! G1 is a micro knob so makes sense. I just calipered my Atlantis, so your tire and size jives.

I ran 2.2 Continental Trail Kings on the 53.  They fit just fine without any rubbing or chainline interference.  The 2.35 max James indicated tracks with my experience!

Hey Hugh,   I’ve run 2.35 Racing Ralphs on my 59 MIT Atlantis, no fender.   Could do a 2.25 w/ fender.    -Mike

Hi Erik,

Thanks! I wanted to run some Rene Herse 27.5″ x 2.2″ (650B x 55) Umtanum Ridge TC Tire but seems that's not in the cards. I'm leaning towards the bontrager XR3s in a 2.2" I appreciate the confirmation.

Hi Michael,

Your Atlantis takes 700c correct?
