the NOT SO official 27.5+ thread.

[Monkey Soup]

The future was 29, then it became 27.5, and now the future is both 27.5+ and 29? Looking forward to the next future, in the future.

The future was 29,

I think that came to fruition....

@jdog.... I'm curious.

would a 27+ tire fit on the lefty on a Habit?

Or is the lefty on a Habit different than the lefty on the bad habit?

Will 29er wheels fit on the bad habit?

So when I had js bike I took the front wheels off it and trigger. The bad habit wheel would easily fit on my trigger and vice versa. Tons of clearance. Something is a little different with the hub though. But clearance isn't an issue. I think the fork spacing on the habit is the same.

Riding a fat bike with a Bluto around Allamuchy since November had me convinced on bigger tires. @rick81721 's picture of his + size Horsetheif threw me over the edge. I'm gonna experiment with my 27.5 Giant Anthem. I'm 90% certain I can squeeze a WTB Trailblazer 2.8 in the back. If that works I may go for a 120mm 29 Pike or Fox 34 27.5+ up front with a 27.5 x 3.0.

Manage to fit 2.8's on my 27.5 Giant Anthem. Today's test ride was pretty darn good. I might have to mix up some kool-aid

I think you can get a 27.5x 2.8 on the tallboy. But this is just going to lead you to want a 3.0 compatible bike

I like wider better, but 28mm will work.

 

[mattybfat]

Wider is better tire profile less chance of rolling bead.
