OOS MOGA

Same here.Lifted something that my back said I shouldn't have last night, and ended up on the couch most of the day. Hopefully I can make the next one. Glad you guys had a good one. Did t know Frank was moving either ☹️
 
What??? It was just a wheel....
yeah I know it seems 27.5 is somewhat dead and while I found some replacements I dont want to pay more then half what I paid for the whole bike for just a wheelset. In between blowing out my spokes on the MTB I also blew out a gravel tire so I decided to replace the tires first since the gravel bike gets ridden more.

What are the specs of this wheel again?

Front Wheel - SUNringlé Duroc 45mm 27.5" alloy straight gauge Wheelsmith spokes, brass nipples

Rear Wheel - SUNringlé Duroc 45mm 27.5", 148 x 12mm thru-axle, alloy straight gauge Wheelsmith spokes, brass nipples

I have come to learn the 45mm size was OEM specific for this bike so they can't be purchased separately unless its someone's take offs. I run 2.8 tires so I dont know that I want to go any narrower although I guess 40mm could work but not 100% sure.

I do have my eye on a pair of Duroc 50s for a decent price, but the seller is flaky and keeps dropping off the face of the earth for a week at a time. You would think if you have an interested buyer after not selling them for many weeks you would be more responsive but hey thats just me.

Ah, I forgot for a second that I only have spare non-boost or superboost wheels...BTW, you can setup the Timberjack with 29" wheels since you're on the market for a wheelset...probably easier to find these days.

Yea I bought the bike knowing I had this option but I like the 27.5 for some reason
