Is your bike Boost fitment? i.e. 110mm front hub and 148mm rear hub?
Thanks, so all the wide tyre chat on this thread got me thinking. Should I upgrade my wheel set to something a bit wider than the 23mm internal measurement I have. Checked my bike tonight and I have roughly a centimetre of free space on each side of the wheel on forks and chain stays.
I have a Lapierre Overvolt SX 800 with Fox 36 Forks.
It currently has Maxxis High Roller II 27.5 x 2.4. I measured the width of the tyre at pretty much 6cm so I could squeeze something 8cm wide at the very most into the bike.
Would I be able to fit wider wheels/tyres onto the bike with space I have?
Maxxis Minion Dhr 2 2.8 rear and 2.6 3c frontA question aimed right at the FoDders;
What rear tyre are you using right now?
Try a 2.6 next time on the front??Maxxis minion dhr2 front and back 2.8
Germany's got oneBeen looking for a 2.5wt to put on a 29er front wheel but cant find one
Check the german sites bike24.de and such likeI’m running a 2.6 MM on the front and did have a “moment” last time out after getting ideas above my station at Dowies. Got a bit wayward on one run...
Where’s the best (cheapest) place to get Minions at the moment?
I've been running the DHR ll up front for a couple of seasons and changed to DHF this spring. And I agree with you, I lost grip on the front wheel a couple of times where I'm pretty sure the DHR ll would have gripped. But it seems to be working better now and I'm quite happy with it, guess I've slightly adjusted my cornering technique.I just dont like the DHF I found them very sketchy lost the front end a few times with a DHF never lost it with a DHR2
I have tried a 29 x 2.3 but didnt get on wjth it on my ebike.Wow. That is low. i generally run my front 2.4 no lower than 32psi. I'm 200lb and love jumping, cornering and riding technical terrain fast though.
I thought DHF/DHR2s were available in 2.3 x 29. or do you mean narrower than that? like an XC tyre?
