SpecialED Stumpy

I built some wheels for my wife's uncle and he sent me these pics of the WTB i45 Scraper rims and WTB TB tires on his Specialized Stumpjumper. I am not sure what year it is, but is a few years old.

He said it fits like a charm with lots of clearance. I know the rear chainstays are at least 80mm wide at the tire diameter.

Nothing like a 5 inch travel B+ rig...

Mister Hyde.
What size Trax Fatty is that please?

Mister Hyde.
What size Trax Fatty is that please?

Is 3.25" but now I switch to 3" that have little bit more space on the fork. The 3.25" have some side effects on the legs and rub the paint.

Just got my Speccy 2012 Camber Comp set up with WTB Trailblazer 2.8's on Blunt 35's with 14/15 DT spokes, brass nips and BHS hubs.
Now its time to go test them out!!

Any idea if they would fit a Specialized Epic frame? Is the clearance the same between an Epic and a Camber? Can you post a close up photo. Thx

Almost?
My 2000 Balfa Minuteman Project - 650b rear with 2.40 Mavic Quest Tire and B+ish front with 2.8 Trailblazer. Fork is a 100mm Manitou Minute 29er - set up 32:20 for now.

I am also interested in B+ for my Epic. Now running a 120mm Reba, I9 Flows and Nevegals. Would like to go bigger.

2012 Epic 29. Anyone try it yet? I would love to try it 27.5+.

Thank you!!! Had to cull through 6 pages to finally find a successful El Mar conversion. I have the 2013 frame and will now start the process of building a set of wheels for mine. How much clearance do you have in the rear?

Just checked the chain/seat stays on a 2013 Stumpy Expert carbon 29er.. measured about 82mm where a B+ 2.8" casing would fall out. Also measured a Pike fork and it's in the 80-81mm range. Your post pushed me over the edge to order some carbon 45mm B+ hoops to build that same rig!

Santa Cruz Heckler with WTB Trail Blazers. Lots of clearance and the BB isn't stupid low. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Dramatic shot of my new midfat Karate Monkey, Mint Doom! Fat B Nimble 650Bx3" tires on Velocity Blunt 35 rims. I was worried that the tires wouldn't fill out enough on the Blunts, but I have nothing but praise for how they handle.

How the hell did you get the Trailblazer on an i45 in the rear of your Yelli?

I've just tried the same combo in mine and it's nowhere near to fitting.:madman:

Karate Monkey clearance?

"Dramatic shot of my new midfat Karate Monkey, Mint Doom! Fat B Nimble 650Bx3" tires on Velocity Blunt 35 rims."

How much clearance? Pics? I like it.

Does anyone know if a WTB Trail Blazer on a 29mm internal rim will fit in a standard 27.5 RS Pike?

Thanks

 

[dirtfix]

This was the reassurance i was looking for. I already have a specialized enduro comp 29er and I pulled the trigger on some Maxxis chronicle 3.0 tyres and got my hands on a set of standard roval rims of a 27.5 enduro comp (my mate upgraded his wheelset for the roval carbon fatties) which have a 29mm internal diameter so i was hoping, praying, that it would work. Judging by everything i read here i am in business! 160mm 27.5+ dually! Giggity! Tyres should arrive on Saturday so i will get to test fitting and post some pics. Wont be able to do a ride report until my broken ribs heal though.

Also, the Specialezed Enduro 29er is also B+ friendly.

Here is a good write up by Enduro Magazine. They even have a pretty large B+ tire on there too

I can't seem to find anything on doing a b+ conversion for a Kona Unit. I have a 2012 frame and XFusion Slide fork. Anyone have a link or first hand experience?

2016 Stumpy with Scraper rims and Trailblazer tires. Plenty of clearance

I've got no insight on the Kona, but post 72 in this thread shows my XFusion Slide fork with Panaracer FBNs mounted on Blunt 35 rims. They pretty much maxed out the clearance, but I never had tire rub issues (anything smaller than that should be fine)...I've since switched to a DT Swiss fork which has more room.

I.. what? wait... what?? 2.8 on 650B in a heckler?
That '06 heckler in my basement just got REAL interesting... I know, it's not the same as the noodle-tube you show, but still..

 

[geraldooka]

Who you calling noodle-tube? That's my steed, 2.8 pfft this baby will fit bigger than that just waiting for something with some real teeth that doesn't weight 2lbs+ a tire...
