NotSoBigBen Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 As many of you already know I am always trying out stuff, that original 27.5 wheels in 26" frame from 2011/12 then my 29" single speed rigid and road fixie as well as freewheel (2 separate bikes). My latest was the Monstercross [emoji3] Now I have 90% of the bits to build a 27.5 plus bike, 29" frame with 27.5 wheels with some big ass tyres. Still need a fork but just a mock up in this pic, hope to get a positive response from the Trailhead chaps about tyres soon [emoji41]
Baaisikilist Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 So THAAAAT'S what it's for...Red Grips must GO BB...
NotSoBigBen Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 That bar and stem are going anyway! Just there to hold the fork in and the brake levers for now .....

Did you receive it?
NotSoBigBen Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Hey sorry guys been a tad busy but yes he did indeed reply the very next day and it seems that we can expect some 27.5+ happiness around mid to end of April In the meantime have been toying with the idea of just running the WTB trails at 2.4 but worried the low BB height may be a problem and then of course the fact that I don't have a fork yet I am however collecting the other bits I need and fitting them so that when I do get a fork it will be quick to finish it. Will run it anyway with my 29r wheels to test it all
RockCoach Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Glad to hear it!There are also a few other new tyres we are waiting for in that WTB order.
