My rear tire went kaput on my last ride. Thinking of switching to maxxis dhf/dhr 2.6 profile but concerned about the bottom bracket height
After 2.8's I went ewilds 2.6 front, 2.8 rear as a test. Felt good. Wished I'd gone 2.6 both ends.
Now on 2.4 DH22's. Love these. Probably a bit heavy for most people but the bike feels nimble.
No problems on the BB. I catch it occasionally, but only from crap riding and technique failures ! I do run shorter cranks though (but always have - it didn't need them, I'd already bought them so put them on anyway).
Yup ! On stock rims !!!! It gives you more air volume. You probably loose out a little on lateral suspension when you're leaned over as the tyre can't flex as much as it would on a thinner rim, so you might notice this is you're a good rider.On stock roval rims? How about 2.5s? Not too skinny on 38mm rims?
What year Kenovo you have? Because mine has Roval's 28mm internal wide (2020 Comp)On stock roval rims? How about 2.5s? Not too skinny on 38mm rims?

2.5's are probably the ideal size I guess .. For me, 2.4-2.6 seems good.
