ISO: 27.5 plus tires

[qclabrat]

Plus wheels came in today and looking forward to see what fits in the rear of the TA29. I've heard mixed comments on mtbr so don't want to buy nice rubber till sure. @tonyride, PM me your availability this weekend if you are around.

They look nice and wide. Those 42’s?

The older 741s, same width as 742

Got the Bridgers on, wasn't easy as they are super tight. Unfortunately they won't fit I the back, but should be fine in the front. Rims are 35mm internal and I really like the tire profile. Now I kinda wish I had gotten wider rims than 29mm for my 29r. Time to try 2.8 next...

Do you want to try the Rekon / Ikons that I have. Free. Just need to get them to you.

All these experiments @qclabrat is doing is making me jealous...

What rim width would I need for 2.6 to 2.8 tires?

My Pivot trail came stock with 2.8's and 40mm internal.
