Speaking of the Sync'r Carbon, DB has released (or is about to) the Sync'r Carbon 29

Hi everyone,
I'm new here so not sure if there is another thread already discussing this but i have a sync'r carbon 27.5+ and have been wanting to try it out with 29. So of course i got ahead of myself and bought new 29" wheels and tires and now my front tire does not clear the arch on my forks. Everywhere I've read it says 27.5+ should clear 29" tires. Am i doing something wrong, is my setup of wheels and tires just wrong or does it simply not work with the Fox 34 27.5+ forks that come on the sync'r carbon?? The 29" wheel and tire setup i have is raceface wheels 25mm inside width 28mm outside and ethirteen trail 29x2.4 tires.

Sadly, you will need a new fork to fit the 29 wheel. As you may have found out it fits a 29 on the rear no problem. I run a 29 x 2.6 easily. It rides well in 29er also.

Doh! I wanted to do this with mine as well. I guess that's an excuse for a new fork.
