do they have dickin around and pretending you ride bikes forums? maybe you should go there[/quote]
I thought that’s what tarck was.
Ok, dq
Can I 27.5 x 2.8 a front wheel and get a little fat front benefit on a poopbarning 29er?
The main limiting factor is probably going to be the width of the tire in your fork. I also don’t know exactly how the diameters of the big 650b and the 29er tire compare. I know they are supposed to be similar, but I’d also think the fatter tire would sag quite a bit lower when you’re actually on the bike.
Could be fun, though, if a bit clownbike-ish.
I think the 2.8 are basically made for 29er conversion. the 3.25s won’t fit.
you want a wiiide rim for them to get over 2.5 actual.
in my research it seems like a good way to spend a couple hundred bucks for not much gain, + potential wonkiness.

classic mig
its my thread
i get to ask the dumb questions you were thinking anyway
I just put 650B+ WTB 2.8s onto my Milwaukee 29r - wouldn’t fit the Manitou Minute 29 fork but cleared a RockShox.
^that’s what I would be concerned about. I’d try to get your hands on one to see if your fork will clear the side knobs.
My pukebacking bike has a salsa (enabler?) rigid fork. I think I’m going to put the recon gold back on there at some point though.
actually the greatest issue is the widest part of the tire is right at the fork seals - which is also the narrowest part of the fork
guys do you think i should turn my guch track bike into a 650b bike
it doesn’t have breaks so no need to deal with that
but i think i wanna add dick breaks to it in the back only
also do you think it would handle well with a kiddie pool full of water and strippers in it attached to a nitto m12 front rack?
ha ha?

Only in the Oregon shitback.
If I came across a too cheap to pass 650b wheelset I think the first bike I would put it on would be my fixie tbqh
You could certainly fit a 29x3.0 tire in the Salsa fork.
The 27.5x2.8 will be slightly smaller than even a standard 29er tire, so will make a small change to your geo.
The 27.5x2.8 WTB in particular is actually just a 2.2 tire with a huge sidewall. On a normal rim it is normal sized.
If you want more tire in the front I’d recommend a 29x2.4 on the widest rim you can fit.
Currently have a 2.4 xking
It’s big
why do you need monster truck tires?
?? Isn’t that what all the cool kids have?
