    27.5+ conversion to 9er, need help

    how reasonable would it be to swap the hubs for something that wouldn't require a conversion? I mean if we are talking over 300$ then i could just get an extra set of niner wheels that actually come with correct hub spacing.....I was hoping something as simple as a washer would fill those gaps -...

    Anyone ride here? How are the conditions, and would anyone be interested in linking up for a loop one of these days? I'm trying to find a few more close spots I can frequent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    29er Tire Combos/Recommendations

    I have the same issue with my Wolverines, I think in my case it's an air pressure issue. I usually ride a little on the hard side since I'm a heavy guy (200+lbs). Usually ride at around 25/30lbs tubeless. And they always want to slide out on corners, especially up front Sent from my iPhone...

    1x10 questions

    I haven't added the 42t to the rear cassette yet - but making the switch from 32t to 30t up front made a very noticeable difference. I'm halfway considering sticking with the setup as is! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1x10 questions

    Ok so I heeded the advice of the masses and went with a 30t up front, and I'll add a Wolfstooth GC 40/42t to the rear cassette if needed. The difference between 30 and 32t should be noticeable....I hope lol, if not - I'll add a Wolfs tooth 42t to the rear cassette. Then I should be golden...

    1x10 questions

    I recently switched to a 1x10 setup, I really like the simplicity of it. Only issue is I ride a mix of AM\XC and a little bit of DH on occasion. 1x10 with a 32t ring is no good for me for climbs - and the next alternative is a 1x10 24t. Several people have communicated to me that going with...

    New to the trade, tons of questions!

    I typically shop at JensonUSA but to be honest, those guys can be a little intimidating. I feel like a snot nosed little brother who follows around the older brother picking his brain lol. They are very friendly. But I can literally ask a hundred questions at times lol. I'm an engineer so it...

Hearing major good and bad about the procore tubeless setup General opinion is that MM is the best tire around if your looking for something that performs well on all...
