29" tires on sun 28

The other two big XC tires seem to be The Big Apple tire and the Kenda
Klaw tire. I ride a Kenda Klaw and I really like it, but I don't know
about clearance so you should ask someone else before buying one.

check this thread out >> 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/rrvj5)

and check out 'Sun Frame Measurements'

In short: the sun frame won't fit a 29er.

I've heard that someone used a file to remove the few millimeters of
frame required to accomodate a 29" tire.

I think the same person also fitted their Sun 29 with a KH seat and a
blue cathode light :eek:

I would also like to get a 29" tire on my Sun, but I, too, need to
first straighten my rim ...

I did a fair bit of research into 29er tyres and listed all those
currently available that looked suitable, with links. If you do a
search for posts by me you will find them, I also reviewed the
Bontrager Jones XR 29 which was my final choice.
