How's the BB height? Crank bashingly low?

Yea...the BB is low.. I can tell (even with 170mm cranks) that I'll have pedal strikes....

That is my hangup, I love the Honzo, but the 65mm BBdrop kills it for rocky, technical B+ usage.

That's what I'm concerned with on my rootdown. Even though I run a 150 pike. I have 180 cranks on it.

Not sure if this was covered already...my LBS threw the wheelset from a SJ 6fattie on a 2016 boost Remedy and said it fits well...they showed my pics, didn't confirm directly

One thing I noticed is that it is a lot easier to manual with the fatter rear tire ( due to the larger contact patch).

Go faster and do more wheelies, should solve any issues with BB/pedals

Thanks! Just seeing if I could go a bit bigger....:thumbsup:

Is there a chart someone is keeping up with that has the tire diameters and widths? That would be helpful to those on a budget that would like to get close out of the gate and not buy multiple tire wheel combinations.

Does the small width rim keep the +tire more narrow?

I want to leave my front wheel as a 29er and replace the rear with a 27+. I have a marlin 5.

 

[CougarSlayer]

Not that I know of.. I would personally run the skinny tire on the back it's a faster set up and I find you can rush into the rough stuff without a care in the world ... or brakes lol

Canfield Riot

Hey Guys,

Lets add the Canfield Riot to the list. I just finished building it up late Friday night and had my first ride out on the trails yesterday.

I apologize for the pic, I wanted to hurry up and mount the wheels without swapping all of the parts over to make sure they fit. Once I have a few weeks on the 29er wheels, I will throw on the B+ setup and get some better pics.

WTB Scraper Rims mounted up with the Breakout 2.5. The tires measures 28.25 inches tall, and between 2.6 and 2.7 inches wide. You can tell its not as big as the TrailBlazer, but the knobs more than make up for the little less volume. Technically not a true B+ tire, but good enough for me. The frame also clears the TrailBlazer 2.8's.

Its an insane bike. 140mm travel, 16.2 in chainstays, long front center. In short its built to have fun. Add B+ and its going to be that much more fun

 

[CougarSlayer]

I'm in! .. might have to keep an eye out for one of these .. run a Mrp or Pike with a 3.0 up front

Dusty: I'm not looking for a 27.5+ but I do like as tall as possible non-plus 27.5 front tire.
So far the tallest I've found is the Trail King 2.4 (713mm) and the Goma 2.4 (713-714mm). Both are several mm taller than popular 27.5 tires like the Magic Mary, Minion, HRII.
If your measuring is accurate it puts the Breakout at 717mm so I'm eager to try it out. Looks like a great 27.5 tire.
Since everyone's measuring could be a bit off I'm curious if you ever measured the Trail King 2.4 or Goma 2.4 and if indeed the Breakout 2.5 is taller?
Thanks for your help.

FWIW - I've got some new Conti TK's in 27.5 x 2.4" mounted on 35mm LB rims and they measure ~700-705mm. They look smaller than previous 2.4" TKs I've used I'll grab some calipers at work and get an accurate width so I can compare with the older tires I still have mounted to some 35mm rims.

If true they've just gone from amongst the largest 27.5 tire to one of the smallest. 700-705mm puts it in 2.2 territory.

Took the front wheel out of the fork to measure it more accurately against the wall and I get 705mm +/- 3mm. It's not 2.2" wide, but it doesn't look as wide as the older 2.4" TKs.

I'll get some caliper measurements tomorrow for the width.

What was the internal width of the rim you used when you measured your 2.4" TK's and at what pressure? How old were they and which version?
