this smacks of a woke exercise in re-branding I don't think calling a place in Wales by its( or a ) Welsh name rather than an English ( imperialist ?) one is woke unless you think England gets to name the world.

exactly as stated tyre started rubbing on one side and the knobbly bit and mud just wore through the chain stay Thankfully it creaked massively so it was spotted rather than snapped on me but you could flex the drive side chain stay and see the issue - the frame was retired -i would strongly advise ...

Re: 41mm internal (rim) and a 2.4 inch tyre?
I have a 3 " tyre on 30 mm rim so yes the tyre will fit - how optimal or otherwise is the question- we should probably just swap rims :wink: :lol: As for will the tyre come off- No idea as that is largely down to tyre and rim combo I would go with what they say as that frame is carbon,iirc, and...
