I recently got a new fork(2012 fox float36 kashima lowered to 140) for my gt distortion.
Now I used to run a 2.5 nev front which is massive measured out to 27.2. I love the way that tire tractored of everything but it is ***** to pedal.
Ive decided i'm either going to raise my fork back to 150mm or get 650 wheel like a wtb i23 and run a high volume 2.3ish(suggestions ?) I'll get the nicer roll over with a faster slightly narrower 650b tire..
I have burgtec ti offset shock bushings already on my bike so I can pretty much neutralize any HA and SA change that comes with the taller 650b wheel plus Ill get a smidge more ground clearance as it has low BB barely @13 inches. As I live in North van ground clearance is much appreciated.
Ive got a wheel in my online shopping cart virtually built
20mm red hope pro2evo wtb i23 and double butted black dt spokes
Am I nuts?
