  • Id definitely go for the wider rims if it must be from those two choices. Much better tire profile, and less squirmy at low pressures.

    Stick to 29" ;) going 27.5 would be bad news. Super low bb, different handling, etc. Even going from 29x2.4 to 27.5+ makes substantially lower. Too bad the early models dont have clearance for plus tires!

  • I mean it doesn't absolutely have to be those but I like my other Hope wheels so figured these are good too (plus so much stuff is bolt-thru or boost only nowadays). Don't really have the time to build some myself. My other Hopes are machine built and they're fine.

    What would you buy if not those?

  • Iv got a set from superstar components that im very pleased with. "Fuel" hubs with 60 POI and quite loud, swapable end caps, cartridge bearings. Theyv got some different rims to choose from, mine are 28,5mm external and i wish i bought some wider. I run 2.4 tires. Great value for the money imo :)
