Fat Frank HS 375

Black tires with full whitewalls would be boss!

The Fat Frank appears to be about 10% more costly than the Big Apple. The Fat Frank has a 5-square sidewall protection rating vs. the 2-square sidewall rating on the Big Apple.

Is the sidewall protection difference real or is the Fat Frank tire only "Technically one hundred percent equal to the Big Apple" as stated with a designer color pricing premium?

I have a Batavus Fryslan with 28' tires and I would like to know what size " Fat Franks" should I get for my bike? The original wheels say PSI 3.45 and inflate to 50.

I'm looking for a fender that will fit my 60-559 26 x 2.35 Black-Skin.

The VeloOrange Hammered Fenders are what I want and was wondering if any of them would fit.

Insight?

I'm writing to inquire if others have noticed a difference in width in the brown and cream tires.

When mounted on a 700c Velocity Synergy rim, brand new cream tires measures at 52mm and the brown measures 46mm. Variations are not uncommon, however, the variation in the brown tires is far greater than expected.

Is it just me or are other users experiencing the same variances in tire width?

I am looking to put these fat franks on my Townie 3i. The rim is a bit thinner than the rim for the townie balloon. I have been getting mixed answers from all stores. If not, what alternative would you recommend?

I currently have 57-559 tires on my bike. Assuming that there is enough frame/fender clearance for the Fat Franks, would they fit on my my existing rims?

and I was hoping they could be these... :) For the 24" Large Marge Rims...

I NEED these Fat Franks in a Twenty-Four by Three (24" X 3") - the only option I can currently find in the 24 x 3 size are Felt Racing Thick Bricks, but I would MUCH rather run some Fatty Franks. With the Reflective Sidewall Stripe. In Cream! Please? Thanks.

I just ordered a set of 29x2.00 wire bead Fat Franks. How do you think they will perform on a hartail mountain bike? Most of my riding is street/moderate trail. I just like the way the creme looks. Will the steel bead pose a problem on the aluminum 29er rim?

I like the brown colour, looks like gum rubber. Any chance of seeing this colour in another, more narrow, model? Somewhere around 700x25 or 700x28.

I just have to say I'm satisfied with my 2.35s. They work wonders on my Yuba Mundo minivan with 80lbs of kids on the back + groceries. The kids even notice the difference. If I were to wonder about any other product, it might be for an equivalent studded version. These tires defy all stereotypes I have had of balloon tires.

The Fat Franks are Freakin' Fantastic.

Today, I went to order me a pair of black 26" fat franks. Unortunately, the guy at the store told me he coud only get the all black version. No white sidewalls or lettering. Is he right ? I saw plenty of bike pictures on the net with black/whitewall fat franks.

while we're requesting tyre sizes, how about a 650B x 35mm or 38mm? that'd be nice! thanks!

would love to see the brown ones in a 28...

I am putting some fat frank's on my prewar bike and would like to remove the logos, is there a safe way to do this?

I'd love to have a set of 26"x 3" or even 26"x4" creams to fit some of the wide 26" rims that are now available!

I need to get some of these tires for my beach cruiser...26 x 2.125

Would definitely like to see 26X2 for a Rans XP rear smooth rider in not so smooth conditions any fatter won't fit brakes and chain - - - cream - brown - or black, & reflective sidewall is fine.

i wish for 29 x 2.35" in a folding bead, something a kin to big apples...
in the mean time, I'm going to be very happy with what is offered... cant wait to put them on my Hunter 29er

1 more vote for a 2 inch wide. 2.35 just won't fit between the chain stays of most old frames. 2 or 2.1 but not the 2.3 Also a full 100% slick would be great in that width.

The Fat Frank 26x2.35 tires are great! Thanks Schwalbe! I'll also put in yet another vote for a skinner version.

Tried fitting the Fat Franks on my old Stumpjumper. No go. Won't clear the rear chainstays. The front fit nicely. I can't say enough about the look. Awesome is the only word that comes to mind. Sure would like a less fat Fat Frank. Or maybe a Creme Delta Cruier in 26 x 1.25, 1.5, or 1.75. Any plans for something like this? I would like to know, before I go off and buy something else. Please advise. Thanks!

sorry for the dumb questions, but im not to smart on this kind of stuff. im trying to figure out if these will fit on my bike.

what schwalbe tube size is recommended for a 26x2.35 fat frank tire? i couldnt figure out if the av tubes have air nozzle that can be used with a basic bike pump. i noticed there were different weight sizes for the same size tube, why?

about how wide is this tire when pumped up to the basic psi? im trying to see if this will fit my mtb frame.

also, would i have problems fitting these tires on a 26x1.50 araya he vp-20 wheels?

We are excited about this announcement:

Fat Frank is now available in size 50-622, a.k.a. 29 x 2.00, a.k.a. 700 x 50C, a.k.a. 28 x 2.00.
And yes, the color is Cream.

I am looking for a creme or brown colored tire like the Fat Frank for my late 80s Stumpjumper transformation project. I would be happy with a 26 x 1.5 or 1.75 Not So Fat Frank or Diet Frank. Even a 1.25 would be fun! Please let me know wassup at Schwalbe!

Like many others, I too am looking for 2 of the Creme 26 x 2.35 tires. Feb. 27th isn't too far off so I will wait patiently. I don't know if you notify anyone or not. It would be great if you did. Thanks

26 x 2.0 that would be my suggestion

Looking for the Creme 26x2.35, currently "Out". When will they be "In"?

Ditto that you need to make other sizes of this tire for Vintage bikes.
Also do you make the 28 in.tires that come on the Pashley Guv'nor?
What is their P/N and availability?

I seriously need this tire in a 26 x 1.75 size. It is the best looking tire I have seen and it would be the icing on the cake for my new ride!!!

Yes a line of fat tires without the reflective stripe. Even 26 x 3 would be
great. PLEASE!!!!

thanks for not making cream 622s wider than 35c. i just bought some amsterdam electra tires and my decision could not have been any more simple

Need: 29ers, no reflector strip please.

Thanks -
