A couple of pages ago I have photos of clearance, I got 2.5 slick which I think 2.6 (depend on tyres pattern) will work but 650b with 2.8 seemed to work also.

Okay I didn’t post it here but here’s front 2.6 and rear 2.8 650b on 29ers Bootzipper

How noticeable is the weight on this? Does it still cruise along once it’s up to speed? Is climbing a pain? Guess they’ll always be loaded up so it can’t matter too much. Sorely tempted to build one up...

It’s porky, like properly stiff and porky, but I enjoy it all the same, think 12-13kg which is reasonable for an MTB.

Getting up to speed isn’t really a problems as it’s largely down to tyres and rotational mass (I’m running tubeless which helped).

Cheers @edscoble, really helpful. Have ordered at 29er frameset! And SLX 12spd groupset and XT hubs from German site bike-components.de on a good deal (see deals thread).

Looking forward to getting it built up and sewing some bags (and hopefully one day riding it)!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
