I’m a huge fan of the halo vapour 35’s
They do a 50mm one too.

Thanks, the kinlin and the vapour are the same rim I think.substandard wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 12:03 pm I’m a huge fan of the halo vapour 35’s

I think 50mm might be too wide unfortunately. What's the narrowest tyre that'll run on 50mm rim?
My stooge has clearance for 27.5 x 2.8 or 3" I think a 29x2.6" on a 50mm rim will be too big.

I'm using the Kinlins with 29x2.6" Mezcals and really like the set up. Built up nice and easily too.

Are WTB Scrapers still available? I got a few and they've always done well.
May the bridges you burn light your way

Can't find any. I've got a 27.5 scraper which has been grand.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 1:15 pm Are WTB Scrapers still available? I got a few and they've always done well.

is the mk3 QR rear? I have a surly rabbit hole 50mm wide x 29 rear wheel you can borrow to test with if you like? Its an old hope hub though that can't be converted from QR and will need a tyre fitting
Re: what wide 29er rim for a stooge mk3?
Thanks Rob. Yeah, it's a 135mm back end so That'll be worth trying before I build the wheels up.

I use DT Swiss XM481 on a ti 29er Stooge.
Zazen - nothing happens next this is it.
Re: what wide 29er rim for a stooge mk3?
What size tires fit with that rim?
Re: what wide 29er rim for a stooge mk3?
29x2.4 front and 2.2 rear in the winter slop 29x2.25 both ends dry winter and summer.
Got Rebas on the front that a 2.4 tyre clears easily. I wouldn't want to go any larger on the rear.
Stooge is the short stay version very similar to the Mk3.
I think I ran larger tyres on 650b rims on a similar frame. Possibly up to 3" but would need check.
Andrew would know about wheel/tyre sizes.
