Mosaic RT - max tire size

[reuben]

Per their website 28 is the official max. Has anyone successfully put anything bigger on one?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Call or email and ask..they are good people..right here in the republic.

BTW-'28mm', even that varies with the lack of bike tire standardization plus the variety of rims that you can use.

Mosaic will custom build with the tire clearance requested.
I personally own a Ti Mosaic with 35mm tire clearance and road geometry.

I did, originally asking about the possibility of a GT-2 with rim brakes. No go. Asked about larger tires on RT-2, waiting for reply. I figure they might not want to give an answer due to liability reasons, so I figured I'd ask the Paceline Hive Mind.

their std. fork is ENVE 2.0 which has 28 tops in their literature

I have a Mosaic RT-1 with rim brakes. I can fit a 28 measured in the frame, but not sure how willing I'd be to go wider. I'll see if I can take some photos later.

My old rt-1 rim (built in 2018) cleared a 28mm that measured closed to 30mm front and rear. Corsa controls on pacenti rims

I have a friend who built one up and ran 28s no problem, but didn't go any bigger. he sold it unfortunately a while back. sorry can't be more helpful

I got around to taking some measurements today.

I'm currently running 25mm Corsa Controls that measure out to 27.7mm.

I can fit a 4mm hex key through the Enve Road 2.0 fork on all sides, although it gets pretty tight in some spots (have to push it through).

In the rear end, I can almost get a 4mm hex wrench through all sides. The only spot that is slightly problematic are the chainstays, where I can get the 4mm hex key through if I compress the tire a bit. I would estimate 3.5mm of room is about right. Everywhere else is fine.

Guessing a measured 28mm is fine. Not sure I'd go above that. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I got this reply from Mosaic, basically saying that larger tires may fit but that the devil is in the details, which makes sense. Not surprisingly, it will depend on the rim/tire combo. I didn't ask what 32mm tires worked, or with which rim(s).

"We've been successfully building RT-1's for 32mm tire clearance for a little while now! It's quite dependant on the specific rim/tire combination but 30's are definitely a safe bet!"
