Jake, there are plenty of riders in Calgary. Some even on this forum. Where are their answers? Have a builder widen the frame, front and rear, lace two rims together, and run TWO tires each front and rear. I had a buddy in LA do it. He could ride in dry sand. About 5.5 inches wide. Some 13.97 cm for you canucks, Eh?
