I do because im too lazy to swap wheels
I would probably be living in a van at the gunks 9 months out of the year if I wasn't married.
Bunk beds fit in a van.
Fire's probably the only thing that's gonna get that shit that's growing on the outside of my car off of there anyway.
She claims she would live in a van and be a dirty rock climber with me, but I doubt it.
They all say that shit before getting married. It's a lie.
How much bigger in diameter are the Colossus compared to the Jims?Ive got Maxxis Colossus 27.5 x 4.5 on my new bike I have yet to ride but they are pretty wide. I weighed them with my 4.8 JJ and they are only a few grams heavier. Pretty darn close. Im feeling like i may have remorse going to 27.5 but I'll see when I ride it
Who makes that van, Jim?Bro. We all need little vans. You could live in it to afford a new bike. Win-win.

How are the Hodags at shedding dirt and mud? Their tight knobs looks like they might be better for dry fast dirt.I can't speak to truly fat 27.5 tires, but I am a big fan of 27.5 x 3.8 on my Ice Cream Truck for 3 season use. Makes the bike feel more like a forgiving trail bike in non-snow conditions. I'm running Bontrager Hodags which I really like also.
I plan to try some 26" jumbo jims this spring, but If I still feel that I like the 27.5" tires better, I'm probably going to breakdown my 26" wheels and steal the hubs to build up a better set of 27.5" wheels.
I run a mastodon though. If rigid, I might want the cush of the bigger tire up front.
I'm giving some serious thought to trying a mullet setup with a 26" in the back and a 27.5 up front, but with tire choices that keep the diameter pretty much the same.
Who makes that van, Jim?
Not sure the JJ's arent mounted to a wheelHow much bigger in diameter are the Colossus compared to the Jims?
I like the weight of 120tpi but with the bigger 26" tires the sidewalls are mushy. Won't going to a 27.5x3.8/4 give you about the same tire diameter but stiffer sidewalls and still lower weight?

Do it, interested in your feedback. One front wheel is much cheaper than both. Though go with a faster rear tireErrant thought - what about running Moto? A 26x4.8 rear and 27.5x3.8 front ???
