I'd love to find a heckler and throw my wheels on it. The breakouts are the best. I need/want suspension

Covert 29 to 27.5+

Riding fine. Looking forward to getting better tires though. The trailblazers that came with the wheels were well worn. Nobby Nics coming while I wait hopefully for the minions to go 2.8-3.0... Rumor has it, they are being developed. I would thoroughly enjoy that as minions are my go to tire.

Hey nv, please post up similar pics once you get the 27.5+ wheels. I ride report would be great too.

I finally got my new bike. It is Pole Evolink 150 with DVO Dimond 27,5 fork. Fork spacing is 100/15 and the frames rear spacing is 142/12. Nobby Nic 2.8/27,5 clears both fork and the rear of the frame. In front there is about 1 cm in both sides and about the same in between the fork and the tire. It might even clear the 3.0 version of NN.
In the rear of the frame there is 1,5 cm clearance in both sides. It will clear 3.0 maybe even 3.25 tire. Rims are easton arc30/27,5.
Today will be first ride with these tires. I already did couple of rides with Magic Mary 2,35/27,5 so it will interesting to see how these two compare to each other.

^^ excellent. share some pics when ya can.

The Ragley Marley and MMMbop can accommodate them just fine. Im not sure if you were looking for a hardtail though? Spec showes to clear a 2.4 but a 2.5 fits nicely with ample room on the stays.

It would be great if you have some pic to share.
I love to see Ragley Mmmmbop in 27.5 plus tyre.:thumbsup:

This was mine. The rear clearance isn't exactly huge. Especially on one side of the chainstay.

Sold the frame for a Bird Zero AM as Bird say it will take 2.8"...... Its even tighter than the Ragley.

Has anyone done an actual width comparison between the Nobby Nic 2.8 and the Rocket Ron? The 2.8 NN JUST fits in my rear triangle, but there is still the very occasional rub. It the Rocket Ron is just a hair narrower, it would be perfect.

After a week of stretching, my 2.8" NN is narrower than my 2.8" RR by a couple of mm. In both cases, the knobs are a bit wider than the casing, but it's the casing making the RR wider. I think it's down to luck of the draw whether a RR is wider or narrower than a NN, as the only difference in the casing is down to manufacturing tolerances.

The 27.5" 2.8" RR fits well on my Trek Superfly SS 29er. It also has no trouble with the Fox 32 29er fork (2016). BB feels pretty low, though, so probably going to stick with 29" wheels.

 

[konacrasher]

I have both tires on scrapers the are both 72mm wide. RR just clears frame in my Niner rip Alloy 2014. NN clears my pike no problems . BB hight is 13.25 pedal strikes only when climbing boulders. but thats it.

on a side note. I was wondering if you put 27.5 plus* tires on narrow rims will it make diameter taller possibly closer to a 29?
Cheers

Fit a WTB Breakout 27.5x2.5 to the rear of my Rocky Mountain Altitude the other day. It's the tallest 2.5 tyre I've ever seen and wider at the casing than most. Only just fits in my Rocky and has a nice round but not too round profile. Not quite a plus tyre but a good option on the rear for those without the frame room for a true plus tyres.

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.

So no chance it could work?

... 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?

 

[0lli]

@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.
