Tarpologists - what do I need?

Ok, just imagine that I'm a complete numpty and haven't a clue what I'm doing. I have a bicycle 7, some random guylines, pegs plus a paracord ridgeline which I bought 7 or 8 years ago but never quite got around to using. What do I need to make this proper workable? I'm assuming that you kind of need...

Re: Talk to me about B+

Yeah SR, I'd like something faster rolling on rear (clime my HR/Ardent 29er set up). You happy with the Reba too?

Definitely all ears for after the weekend on the Bridger!

Re: Talk to me about B+

Plans are beginning to take shape.

Anybody care to recommend a 3.0" tyre combo?

Thinking Nobby Nic up front and either that or Fat Albert on the back.

Anybody tried the Bridger or the new one (Ranger?) yet.

(Probably on a Reba Boost 120 fork)

Thanks for linking Lee's blog, that was well worth the reading (bummer about the missing 8km). Cheers!

Re: Talk to me about B+

Good write up SR, well, I enjoyed it....

And it's good to know that it wasn't my mind playing tricks over the name (not being able to find it on Pact),

Didn't realise the forks were Reba's, I kinda assumed they were Revs....

Re: Talk to me about B+

Thank SR.

A quick google and it would appear that the spacer goes on the non disc side (which means no caliper spacer) butwhich means a re-jig (re-build?) of the rim to centre it in the fork.... It's getting complicated and adding expense.

I fear I'm going to have to email you again... :oops:

Firstly a Hello (this is my first post....). Some of you might be aware of me from 'over there' from whence whitestone directed me to here in the first place.
