rouxtjie Posted November 13, 2012 Share Borrowing a bike with 2.35 Hans Dampfs on them. Damn, those tyres are high volume! They're beeeg. Bigger than my 2.5 minions.Will check it out...crc doesn't have them(RR 2.4) in snakeskin, only evo, which isn't really an option Edited November 13, 2012 by rouxtjie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted November 13, 2012 Share Will check it out...crc doesn't have them(RR 2.4) in snakeskin, only evo, which isn't really an option I have 2 brand new shiny Conti X-kings freshly unwrapped from CRC if the Conti stuff interests you? Bought them for me rigid SS of course! Those extra 3mm of suspension help! Edit: I meant of course 29x2.4 Edited November 13, 2012 by Eldron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akon Posted November 13, 2012 Share Couldn't agree more. There's only 1 place where 12mm extra would really make that much difference... Thickness of the wallet? (Any extra in any other area, and I'll have a serious problem...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted November 13, 2012 Share Guys allot of the responses are I have these, but then it seems they actually referring to 26er or 29er wheels, Please don't get us exited :S for no reason. atm I know Schwalbe are doing the Rocket Ron and Racing Ralphs in 27.5, they are 2.25 volume, got a set on order.

Vetseun Posted November 13, 2012 Share Dude - you missed the point entirely - I have no issues with anyone riding any bike of any size - my point is....know what you're buying. Do you think 650B would be as popular if people it was called 27"?Dude, what does it matter to you what people buy. Are you now a crusader for the rights of 650b buyers. That you should announce that they are actually being misled. Who gives a shite. People can buy just what they want to, it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

He's just pointing out that the view that 650 = 27.5 is factually incorrect, and that people who DO want to buy should not be taken in with the marketing schpiel.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 13, 2012 Share Shimmy Out of interest, what rim / tyre combo did you go for? oh - and my view on the whole thing is that unless you're going for high volume tires, the move to 650 does not make sense. You should rather just go for high volume 26" tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted November 13, 2012 Share Shimmy Yes shimmy.Commonly known as a dance or a quick stuffle.So did you do a quick shuffle with a set of wheels on a 26 " bike ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted November 13, 2012 Share PUBLIC APOLOGY TO ELDRON.Sorry Eldron, apparently the Agent got hyper here. Maybe I didnt sum the post up in the manner you where trying to convey it. No personal attack intended on you. Peace Jigghead, Akon and Wyatt Earp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had my say, will find something else to entertain myself with for the rest of the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
