    29er wheels - rim width

    Another vote for wide lightning (29mm ID). Had them for 2.5years+ and then are holding out ok. They're mounted on an Ibis Ripley (130mm/120mm) and do all sorts of riding. I'm typically running 24-25psi (85kg rider), anything less and it feels a bit squirmy. This definitely depends on the tyre...

    Gravel grinder / tyres rim width.

    Gravel grinder / tyres rim width.

    I'm running Challenge Gravel Grinders 700 x 38. They are on 17mm (internal) width rims, the tyres are about 36mm wide. I popped the tyres on a set of WTB KOM 23 (23mm internal) rims and with the 5mm wider rim, they only went to 38mm wide.

    BIKE RACKS AND CARRIERS FOR CARS MEGATHREAD - all questions asked and answered here

    i'd buy one! i just bought a Whispbar WB200 - it converts from QR to 15mm in a few seconds but it wobbles like crazy. i think ill have to get in touch with the supplier to see if its normal or if i got a bung one.

    I've got a set of these in the 29er format and have had them for about 2 months, so take what I say with this is mind. I have a 130mm/120mm trail bike and ride in the Blue Mountains and a bit of Canberra, mainly XC type stuff. I've been running Rocket Rons (Snakeskin) 2.25, Geax Saguaro 2.2...

    Chinese Carbon

    I reckon the rear triangle is in its "compressed" position i.e. its probably in as far as it will go. A couple of reasons -look at the lower linkage position & -there isn't much space for a fully extended shock in its current position
