Re: Dreaming of a new bike

do I mean lighter ? I think I probably do mean lighter. I certainly appreciate the less wait of the travers over the krampus. But then I also know that the krampus is faster over most terrains. current hub sizes My krampus is QR front & rear. My travers is an oddball. it's a QR rear & the f...

Re: Dreaming of a new bike

That richey looks very nice.

To my untrained eye it appears very similar to the solaris so ticks a lot of the same boxes.

Re: Stans Hugo Wheel - Hope hub, vee trax fatty 29 x 3" tyre

I didn't think a 100 could be converted to 135.

I actually need 135/15 for a Travers prong

Re: 29er plus rims for bike packing

Cheers all.

I'd heard good things about the scrspers. Less so for the Stans.

29er plus rims for bike packing

So not wanting to disrupt the carbon specific thread.

What are the go to 29er plus rims people recommend (whatever material)?

This would most likely be to fit to a Ti fat bike.

This might help.

Most people appear to prefer the breadcrumb track approach.
