I recently tore the sidewall of the front tire on my Kona Woo, so it’s time for an upgrade. In addition to converting to tubeless I’d like to replace the Vee Snow Avalanches with something better. The intent of the bike is to ride mostly snow, groomed fatbike trails in the PNW, but I’ll admit I take it on adventure rides in the summer on rocky singletrack and down closed muddy fire roads.

I’m leaning toward an even bigger tire for more flotation, but I’m not sure how much that will be hampered by the 80mm rims, nor how much more tire I can fit on this frame.

I’m currently considering the Snowshoe 2XL PSC, Terrene Johnny 5, Jumbo Jim 4.8, or Surly Bud/Lou combo.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
