Paul Ruinaard Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Hatchin a new build project. I want to build a 27,5+ hardtail. I have a 29er frame and fork (Rock Shox Recon) and was wondering if a 27,5 + wheel with a 3.0 tyre would fit in. Its a Momsen AL 129 Frame. Any experience. Also any ideas on which 27,5+ rims to use ?
RockCoach Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 It might fit depending on the clearance of the frame. If you bring it around I could check for you. We sell the WTB i45 Scraper rims.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Scraper is the one I'd go for. But just be aware that lateral clearance may be an issue if you go above 2.8

King_Crispy Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 That's what I do. I drink, and I know things. Aaaahhh. I thought you were always clever
BrandonF_ Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 That's what I do. I drink, and I know things.I drink 29er fork oil, with n dash of stans, (call it a SpringFrokkie), while having long undisputed conversions of 3x10 to 1x11 groupslets, about 29" vs 20whateva and ...pushbikes, chain smoking, lubing the whereabouts of trains vs commuting,...now I'm there, and tomorrow I'm back,..STILL NOWHERE near Myles's wisdom!..#btw#keepit#simple#I'mdof#mostofthetime????
xcd Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 It is going to lower your BB as well. Which is nice for cornering but limits you over obstacles.
Madone69 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 You asking if the smaller wheel size 27 will fit your bigger 29er frane and fork?BTW American classic wheels
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 You asking if the smaller wheel size 27 will fit your bigger 29er frane and fork?BTW American classic wheelsNot quite so simple as that. 275 plus is generally with 2.8 and wider tyres. So whole it'll fit height wise, it's the width that makes the difference (she cried)
