That is until I hopped on a standard 29er with light weight wheels/tires. Was pretty much taken aback at how much more nimble and quick it was.

Or b+ in the rear, 29+ up front? My 29+/fat foray has been in a holding pattern due to an unforeseeable bedshit. Fat is fun. Fat is not fast. I look forward to sorting out some shit and being on 29+ with carbon 50mm rims and chupacabras. I really think that will make all the difference in the desert.

I don't use it for anything but snowshoe trails. <br />How's it feel to have a biggy between thy legs though? <br />I've yet to feel a 29nr, one of these days. But, I do cyclocross on the mtb trails, that's kind of 29nr like but skinny like. <Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147261121141428221.post-7870532420725715512016-03-09T09:12:02.375-05:002016-03-09T09:12:02.375-05:00aaaah. the suspense is killing me...wwdd? keep t...aaaah. the suspense is killing me...wwdd? keep the updates coming. i am looking at doing this conversion on my chromag surface...just because i can't leave well enough alone. your ramblings here are nearly pushing me over the edge. more info the better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
