I wrote to Kona about this. The reply was as follows:
There are separate mounts at the seatstays.
We can't measure max tire size since every rim and tire combo has a
tolerance/runout combo that varies. I've mounted a 26" XC tire and rim
combo
for example, and fat 700c wheel/tires.
Fat 700c Wheels I asked? The reply was this:
It'll fit a WTB 40/40 tire on a Speed City rim. That's a huge tire.
It's
allmost impossible to run a fender with that tire unless you really
make
some custom fender mounts.
