• After seeing @yetidamo 's Sherpa build i started to think about an upgrade to my 94 Explosif. Searched classifieds for some weeks and now a Cotic Solaris Max frame is on its way.. Really looking forward to try a modern geometry bike..Not decided how to build it yet, not even sure if 29 or 27.5+. Any suggestions for forks i could you with both?

  • Awesome! I've got a set of 29er and a set of 650b+ wheels/tyres. If I was forced to keep only one set it'd be the B+ all day long. Ridden both equally now and the B+ makes the bike more fun, with more grip and more agile. And with no perceivable lack of speed off road. The 29ers are probably a better option if you'll be using it for a mix of off road and linking stuff on the road a lot but for more technical trails go. B+. I'm glad I've got both but can see the B+ getting the lion's share of the action.

  • Yep, that was the impression I got from reading the various reviews..I think I will give it a go..are 30mm wide rims ok for a 3.0 tyre?
