## Questions & Answers

**Q: what the weight is of 26x2.5? thanks!**
A: 2.49 lbs. Just weighed one on my digital scale

**Q: I have 3.50 inches total in between my forks at the top would this tire fit?**
A: Yes it should fit. For me the problem fitting high volume tires is always the narrowing of the chain stays at the bottom bracket. If you are using these on a bike with horizontal dropouts the you can just add chain links. I have had these on my single speed 26” wheel mountain bike and a 24” wheel BMX cruiser. They are great tires in the woods and on pavement - sort of made me rethink the need for knobby tires in many circumstances.

**Q: I have a 29x2.20˝ front, 29x2.00˝ rear. Trek Marlin 5. I'm just worried the wider hookworm will rub against the frame/shocks?**
A: they should fit.
These hookworms fit on my Trek Marlin 7, which had the same Bontrager 29x2.00" front & 29x2.20" rear tires.... i left a review with pictures

**Q: Should the tires be on a certain rotation direction? I noticed I installed the two differently based on the logo that is only on one sidewall.**
A: My tires had the same logo/branding on both sides of the tire. I don't thing there is any specific need to install for rotational direction. I imagine if there was there would be a note on  the tire itself similar to what is done with automotive tires.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Worm works!
*by S***G on December 28, 2025*

This is a good tire. I always order the the “Worm”.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tire for road and paved/hardpack trails.
*by G***R on May 21, 2014*

These tires are on a 26" Fuji Nevada 1.9 Hard-Tail that I have added hydraulic disc brakes too. The front wheel is stock (Vera Terra 26 and the rear wheel is aftermarket (Sun Rhyno Lite 26), more on that later. Overall I have been very happy with these wheels. After mounting them, I took them down a paved trail near my house and on some hardpack dirt/clay trails. They had no problem delivering good grip when cornering and rolled very smooth although these tires are mainly for use on the street and that is where the majority of my review on their use is derived from. I ride/drive a pedi-cab on the weekends. If you are not familiar with them they are basically a trailer with 2 bicycle wheels on it that attaches to a hitch you clamp to the seatpost of a bike. The trailer is about the same length as a 26" mountain bike and mine has 2x 20" BMX wheels on the back with 2 bench seats that can seat 4-6 people comfortably (although I have had 8 people in it at once). I mention this because as you can imagine the trailer may hold 800-1000lbs of passengers PLUS the weight of the trailer itself being about 100lbs. This weight is distributed between the rear trailer tires and the bikes rear tire (this is the reason for the upgraded rear wheel to handle the additional load). I estimate about 40% of the load to be on the rear bike wheel/tire, although this will vary depending on where the people sit and how much they weigh. With that out of the way... These tires are rated for 65psi max. I run that in the front, but run the rear wheel at 80psi. I use whatever tubes are on sale when I need them and run these same pressures/loads with all of them. These tires replaced standard no-name knobbie tires the bike came with them I bought it. The Hookworms roll incredibly smooth, even over rougher asphalt. Even at max air poressure and beyond they allow the bike to coast noticeably easier as well as virtually being virtually silent. The rear tire holds the weight of myself (220lbs) and my loaded trailer (up to 1200lbs+) very well. These tires deliver great grip on concrete and asphalt even when the roads are wet. The extra width (26x2.5) of the tire combined with the fact that the fact that its dimpled surface wraps around almost the entire tire makes the contact patch very stable. For comparison, my old tires were 26x2 and the knobs only ran to the edge of the "normal" contact patch. When there was additional weight added, the way the tire flattened out the smooth sidewall would rub on the ground (occasionally) and the part of the tire on the road would grow in length (front-to-back), this would caused additional load on the wheel and I think (purely assumption) that it was bending spokes. Now the wider tire seems to bulge out sideways under load and the texture wrapping around keeps the sidewall off the ground, this also means the load on the wheel doesn't grow in length and I have not had my wheels go out of true since running them (had been very frequent prior to installing these). About the difference in wheels: The front tire on the stock Vera-Terra was very easy to install, I do not even need to use levers to mount/dismount the tire, I can do it by hand. Even so, the tire holds its bead well and although I have had some flats, none had been from the tube getting pinched. The rear tire on the aftermarket Sun wheel is very hard to install. Even with extra-long steel levers, mounting the tire takes quite a bit of work, to the point that I was worried about damaging the tire/rim. I have since gotten more comfortable with it (and have never done any damage to the rim or tire). Being that I ride an urban area with a lot of bars, there is a tremendous amount of broken glass so I have had these tires on and off many times. Even though both wheels are the same size, the Sun rim has a much stiffer/thicker lip that its just a slight bit taller and I think that is where the increased difficulty in installing them comes from. One last thing to note, when they say 26x2.5 they mean it, these tires are FAT (in a good way). They look awesome on the bike but be warned, they are quite a bit wider than a 26x2 ... more that it might seem like. The clearance against my frame with the old tires was enough to squeeze a pinkie into, now it is about as much clearance as a house-key is thick (on my Fuji Nevada 1.9). Had I been using rim brakes I am not sure they would have fit with these tires. Being that I use hydraulic discs this was not an issue for me, but just check what your clearance is like. I would make sure you have at least 1/4-1/2 inch anywhere a 26x2 tires come close to the frame or any components. TL:DR - These tires roll smooth, have good grip on pavement both wet and dry, had no problems handing extreme weight/loads, and can be run at high pressure. Plus, they are fat and look sick on the bike.
