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?
seb1977-
I'm using Hope Tech 35w wheels which have a 35mm internal width with 3.0" and it seems all good.
This is my first experience of B+ tyres so not sure how 30mm internal width rims would compare but they still sound quite wide so I'm sure they'll be fine. I'm sure someone with more actual technical knowledge will be along soon...

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.
