Surly
Knard 26 x 3" 120tpi Tire
The
Knard's block tread has been carefully researched, designed, and tested. The profile is shaped just slightly eggy to maximize traction on corners while keeping rolling resistance low on straightaways, with an unnoticeable transition between the two. The casing provides a malleable but firm platform, surprisingly adjustable by adding or releasing a pound or two of air pressure. All of which allow a unique balance of inertia, traction and float.
- This tire features a 120tpi lightweight casing and folding bead
- These are wide tires! Make sure your frame is designed to use these fatties!

I have a Trek Farley 5. It has 80 mm rims. I would like to put these tires on for summer.

Surly's official stance on the Knard 3.0 fitting on their Rolling Darryl Fat Bike Rim (82mm external, 76mm internal) is that they will fit but the tread profile will be flatter than what it would normally be is used on a narrow rim.

Will these fit (even if they are not recommended) on a Surly 1X1?
A.
anwered by: a guest
I have a pair of these mounted tubeless (w/ Stan's) on my 70mm wide Whisky wheelset. I am not a clydesdale but these are my go to rubber for 3 seasons and then rotate on some studded Husker Dus (tubeless) during the winter.
BTW-riding on a 7 wk long GDMBR supported tour this summer on a new set of these.

A GuestThese tires fit a 1x1 but you have to have the rear wheel pretty far back in the drop out. Roughly half way back.
Overall really nice and grippy.
