Re: Debating a new bike, who's ridden fat and 29+ and 650b+

I'm not sure they'd fit tbh and it would cost a fortune to try. Plus like I say it's hard to see past the fact that a decent set of fat wheels is the same price as a full ramin plus. I'm just not sure how they compare ride wise

Debating a new bike, who's ridden fat and 29+ and 650b+

How do they compare. Can't decide upgrade my fatty or buy a ramin plus or look for a used 29er plus. Part of me thinks get some dt br2250 fat wheels to lighten up the fatty and change the ride but then I'm struggling to get past the fact they cost the same as the full ramin bike :( But I will have t...

Re: Talk to me about B+

Just been looking round the lbs and I'm amazed that wtb 2.4 tyres on one of the 27.5 bikes were almost as big as the 2.8 ones.

Re: Anyone ride a Genesis longitude 2016

What sort of things are those? At first glance I'd want an easier lower gear maybe an 11-42 with a 30t ring but the rest looks pretty spot on. I can get the longitude for 850 or the ramin for 635 then the extra for better gearing What's the rear clearances like for a proper 3.0 tyre on the rear of t...

Anyone ride a Genesis longitude 2016

I'm debating getting one as a more versatile bike than the fat bike. But maybe a 29er+ might be better who knows. I do like a 29er more than a 26er in normal tyre fitting. Anyway I digress it looks a pretty good bike and reviews look good but I do have one niggle as according to the specs they wante...
