I think running the 74mm (inner) ring might create issues with the singleator. Jeff-

Tons of clearance. Although that's getting pretty heavy, since most of those tires are downhill specific. I usually run a Weirwolf 2.5 in the front. 750 grams for a big tire. Not bad! As far as gearing up the Inbred... I've found that single speed bikes work pretty good for winter riding. Not as many parts to collect snow and gunk, and no dérailleur to drag through the snow.
