Hey, Ryan, how are those Grail rims? They are on my shopping list as well. What spoke hole would you suggest? PM me a price on rims please. Thank you

What size wheels you guys running with the mtb setups

Pretty broad question. I would imagine this is largely determined by the frame used if running the originally intended tyre size. How ever one can run 700x35C (35C approx - can be 32-40C) setups in 26" frames, as per the Soda I posted. Others could run a 650B+ setup in 29r frames. Otherwise it's as per the standard wheel size for the frame. Hope that answers your question?...

RyanPMB has given a pretty comprehensive answer there. In my case I am using a 29" MTB frame so more 'monster' cross than 'cyclo' cross ... I use the original 29" MTB wheels with Hutchinson Mamba 1.9 tires. Not a very aggressive tread so suits the on off road stuff I use it for.

Ok, cool. Thanks.

I am contemplating using a hardtail mtb frame and building up. I am not bound to one size. I was thinking 29" would be better suited to on and offroad riding, or will 26" be fine as well?
