Marin dually compatibility?

I am a new Marin bikes dealer. No dual suspension on hand since i am only begining with them. I lurking on dual suspension 27.5+ since almost 2 years. NOW i want it to be a Marin.

Someone know if a Marin Rift zone 29er could handle and 27,5+ rear wheel?

Thanks!

I owned a 2013 and had rubbing with a 2.4 Maxxis Ardent 29 on an original Stan's Flow. Same wheel with a 2.2 Slant Six was fine.

 

... did the 27.5+ conversion on my inner RIP 9

I did the 27.5+ (plus) conversion on my Niner RIP 9.

Wheels: WTB Scraper 4.5
Rubber: Schwalbe Nobby Nic(s) 2.8 (can't go 3.0)

Clearance is not an issue (front & back) on the pre-2013 frame.

Cheers,

Olli, how do you like 27.5+ on the Rip?

 

@69tr6r it rides super nice, actually, I like the grip of the Nobby Nics and the added rubber cushion is great for any rocks and roots. Since I was used to a 29'er setup the diameter of the wheel didn't really change, therefore the travel/speed feels quiet similar.

So all in all, I would absolutely do it again.

 

Anyone here with 27,5 plus in rear and 29x3 in front on a Soma Juice 22"/XXL? Front no issues (Fork is Krampus) but what is max in the rear? Have 35 mm innerdiam rim (650B) ready to go on. Which Tire to choose for this old 220 LBS guy of 6ft something?

 

Olli - very nice RIP9 there. The Nics on your bike look especially nobby and big @ 2.8 too! Going with the same setup on the rear of my bike and decided to stay at 29 on the front to minimize the bb drop. Front will be a 2.35 Mary, so the grip will still be there.

 

@NH Mtbiker thanks!

I thought about keeping the 29' in the front, but I like the way she rides right now, so I'll stay on 27.5+ front&rear for a little while. I can always throw the 29' back on.

Let me know how you like your ride after the conversion.

Cheers!

 

Niner rip9

I would recommend running it 27.5+ front and rear. you will be truly blowin away how well it rides and climbs. bb high is about 13.5 thats not low are all.

 

Looks great Olli. Are you running 2x or 1x?

 

Thanks!

I'm running 1-10. Thought about going 1-11, but didn't want to get another hub. Super happy with my XT 1-10 setup.

Anyone have a Santa Cruz tall boy lt converted to 27.5+ ? Wanting a full suspension need to get away from my Yelli Screamy hardtail. Will trade plus cash if deal is right.

doesn't the new tall boy 3 come in both 27.5+ and 29er specs?

 

I'm finally done reading the last 20 or so pages here, wow what a lot of info!

I'm looking for a 29er fork with 3-4" travel that will clear the 70mm (actual) wide plus tires-on-rims I already have.

Can anyone suggest a really low-cost fork with straight steerer and QR dropouts that will fit my wheel/tire setup?

I need oil damping as the only real feature, replacing an all-steel fork so not fussy at all.

I've seen popular-priced forks by Suntour, but I know there are others that turn up as closeouts every so often.

Thanks for any help with this, and thanks for all of the useful info posted so far!

 

anyone using marsh guard here and had issues?

 

Hi guys,
I will finish the interesting 15 page tomorrow, but I have a quick question somebody have converted a canyon nerve 29er?
I'm actually thinking of buyng dt rim but I'm stucked with size, which will suit best for a 2.8 nobbynic 30mm or 40mm internal?
last question; how is wide the nobby nic with this two rim or similar?
Thank you very much, best thread ever

 

Hi Nitrox, did you ever go through converting the Nerve 29 to 27.5+? Did they fit?

 

Anyone looking to part with a full suspension frame that I can run 27.5x2.5 tires

Yowza! Like it!

 

has anyone considered going back to the original 29er setup having compared it with a 27.5+?

this is from a point of view of just owning 1 set of wheels - which would you go for a 29er or a 27.5+?

 

Clearance on the stays is rather good. Just not for muddy trails. All trails in my area close at the first site of rain, so a non issue here. The woman wont ride on muddy trails anyway. I will post up some close up photos of the clearance soon. I'm not sure how much the BB raised. A good estimate would be about 5 to 6mm. judging from the look of my full suspension with 2.3 Nobby Nic's. Tire is rather close to the seat tube. Prior to the build, I had it mocked up with the same Blunt wheel and some WTB Trailblazers. The Trailblazers rubbed the seat tube cable guide slightly. I thought I would have to shave it off. Fortunate for me, the Nic's cleared

 

Hi...anyone is using the XFusion Sweep 650b fork successfully with 650b+ tires?

I have an i35 rim with Rekon 2.8" wheel and is thinking of getting the Sweep fork. Looking at the bulge area of the fork looks kinda tight. Thanks.

I have the sweep, and run fat b nimble 27.5x3.5 tires (severely overstated) on i35 rims. The tires are 2.875" at their widest and see to clear by a good 4-5 mm at the bulges. However the fork arch is very tight, at only about 3mm clearance there. But the FBNs run taller than most.

Anyway, my guess is that it will fit, but I'm not sure by how much.

 

I didn't have any issues with the crown hitting the tire at max travel / bottom out. The fork arch is the only thing that concerns me. I regularly hear stones pass through it. But the rekon is probably a little shorter than the FBN I'm running.

 

Hello community, it's my first post!
Here is my Charge Cooker 4 2015 steel frame custom build with WTB Trailblazer 2.8 and a Surly Krampus fork.

 

2016 Kona Procss 153 works with Maxxis Rekon+ front and rear

Ok, the new Maxxis Rekon+ turned up at the shop yesterday and I thought I would try it on a medium Process 153 we had on the floor.

Put them on the stock i29 WTB rims and it came out at 66mm width and after leaving overnight with 40psi in they came out @68mm. FWIW the 2.3 Minion DHF stock were @58-59mm on same rim

So, as I have a large 153 I put the tires on this afternoon :thumbsup: and they fit great. Tubelessed up perfectly. Have moved Marsh Guard above Pike brace to make sure that I have good debris clearance and the rear Marsh is in the same place as with the DHF. In summer I will take off the Marshes.

Photos constrict the appearance of gap, there is a solid fat index finger or more in the rear of the bike, and a little fingers gap below the brace on the Pike and good gap to the sides. In no way will the tire rub even if the casing grows a couple more mm, and there easily enough room for if I tweak a rim mid-ride.

Rode it home after work today and it felt good- will give it a proper go on the weekend, and I am sure that it will enhance the Process' ability even more

on the front wheel, that such would be the WTB i35 in the fork?

for kona process 153 2015

 

Nimble 9, Gen 2, setup with Easton ARC35 rims on 2.8 Rocket Rons. Plenty of room on a nonplussed 120mm Pike. The rear is tight, but I *think* there is enough room to run 15psi. I sure hope...

looks like a good fit.

 

Any more info on a kona Satori getting converted to 27.5+ going with 2.5 tires. I have 2.8 tires to but love the 2.5 wtb brakeout tire. Anyone know sizing on them?
