Only for those who actually go offroad. And don't curl into the foetal
position at the very thought of exercise.

Rear clearance is pretty tight, ie: take this rig off road at yr own
peril. Or just have a trusty lacky/minion clearing the singletrack of
stray twigs & rocks before you?

Yikes! Let me guess, each of those panniers holds one spare tube.

Lucky you weren't riding in regional Qld. A cop would have jumped out
from behind the first dune and demended to know where your helmet was.

Mud!.

The only place a tyre like that could be really useful is if you wanted
to ride around Australia along the tideline as much as possible.
Otherwise you are spinning about double/quadruple the mass of your
2.25"/1.25" tyre.
