hay guys,
I recently acquired a 700c hybrid frame and noticed that it has gigantic tire clearance. If I removed the kickstand and filed the front brake booster bridge a bit I'm almost completely sure that I could fit some 2" tires.
My question is if anyone has done anything like this before, and if so, how did it come out? I don't expect or require much performance; going across some rocky trails on giant wheels at a moderate pace would be sufficiently cool.
